Tuesday 21 July
Well this evening in Slovakia. As I said, I wanted to go up the Danube to Ez ??? stopping off in several places on the way. Some of the guide books, even Lonely Planet doesn’t describe things quite as I expect. You expect grand things and sometimes they are just not up to it.
One of the places I visited was an outdoor museum of Hungarian architecture which was interesting but it was just so vaste and not really finished. It might have been an idea to have allowed people to go round on bikes but I suppose that would create fewer people taking the train – a real diesel train- from taking people around. Just as I was getting to Ve??? I saw Mio indicating a viewing point and point of interest. It was this castle on the top of the hill overlooking the Danube. It has existed since the time of the Romans but the town itself has nothing. On my arrival at Ez?? there was the enormous Basilica rising above everything. Really impressive with the Danube and ??? in the background with its factory chimnies. The view from the Slovak side well that is something stupendous.
The two towns are very different too. The Hugarian town is very grand and magestic, the Slovak more like a small village that has grown.
