Distance travelled so far : 32 kms
Day 1 and 2. We are combining the first 2 days of the walk to join with a larger group.
Can you believe it the other 6 walkers are all Australian!
Delicious breakfast to start the day.
The enthusiastic troops set off!
Unanimous decision to catch the ferry to Bratislava to avoid confusion on the trains.
Boat booked up....so we faced a morning of confusion on the metro and train.
Success at first.
Now to find the correct station.
Much deliberation and patience!
After several transfers and 70 mins on the train we arrived in fairytale Bratislava.
The tourist office recommended a fab local restaurant, away from the tourist hype.
Great introduction to Slovakia.
Fourteenth century castle overlooking the town.
View over the city from the castle.
The old city.
Some snapshots of the city

Negotiating bus tickets for the 91 bus
We arrive in Curnovo in 38 degree to walk about 6 kms to our destination.
Hot and anxious to find our destination, after a few false starts.
Our destination. A horse farm. Our hosts are Adam and his wife.
Their Rastafarian dog.
Our accommodation, an authentic Mongolian yurt.
An exotic swimming pool.
Such a frlendly welcome. Big day and we are on the way!

Hello there. As an older woman planning to do the walk next year, may I ask how heavy your packs were? And how many days did you choose not to walk? I can be contacted at margid41@hotmail.com if that is easier for you.
Many Thanks,
Margid
