back again

Yeah, I know I was gone for some time.

Mango event was crazy. No, not meant in the good way. They were giving bonbons and baileys and everyone was suffering from the crazy 20% discount madness and the store was full and one had to wait for quite a long time. At the end we got top for free, last months edition from Elle and cleansing water and 20% discount on the thing we bought.

Weekend in Slovakia
Last friday me and Martin left to Slovakia. Destination was lower Tatry, Liptovsky Jan.
Maybe you wonder why we went there...Yeah there is no snow yet but soon there will be!!! We found a huge amount on Slovak crowns which needed to be spent so instead of exchanging it we decided to spend it. And yeah, I lied. We didn't find it but somehow received it:P
Anyhow, we went to thermal baths. They were 20 km from the place we were staying but it was okay. The room was a big surprise. We had a room for 2 in a hotel and besides the huge amount of loud! retired people and the fact that in the room were 2 separate beds instead of a big one, everything was fine. Price included breakfast and diner.
We arrived friday after a long ride. It's 300 km from Brno.
Then next day we went to the biggest cave in Slovakia. One hour underground. After that we finally went to the baths...It was great. The fact that u can be in your bathing suit on that weather was funny a lot. More funny was how we were running from pool to pool and freezing cause after all outside was 12 degrees and we were wet. But once we got into the 38 degrees water all was fine.
After we got tired from the baths outside we went to the inner pool and the slide:)
Ah well. Warmly recommend thermal baths during winter. Amazing experience.
The place we were at is called Besenova Thermal park . Next to it is also Tatralandia but we satisfied ourselves only with the 1st one.

On the way back we stopped in Trencin. It has the biggest castle I have ever seen. It was on a hill, so many stairs had to be climbed and it was so huge...
Tried some traditional slovak food haluski...ah well:D I think rebra, zebra is much better:P
While we were sitting in the pub and eating some kids came inside and started ordering ice cram and french fries. I think when I was their age I never was in a pub. Oh how old I only sound:;)
They took out some wallet and started counting money. Funny thing was that they had more than I had myself:) Their parents might have been way too desperate for spending some quality time to let the kids out with all these money:))

Ah well I know it sounds chaotic but I guess you get my mood:) Somehow excited, full of energy and glad!
Hope you feel the same and...weekend is only 2 days away...Oh yeah;)

Hello,

It was around 4 arounds car ride.
Brno-Uhersky Hradiste-Uhersky Brod-Tencin-Martin -Liptovsky Mikulas-Liptovsky Jan.

The baths are 20 km from Litovsky Jan. This is where we stayed in a 2 ** hotel. Staying there cost us around 25 euro per night breakfast and dinner included. Name of hotel was Dumbier, Here u can find more info : http://www.liptour.sk/accommodation-in-at-slovakia-hotel-dumbier-liptovsky-jan-in-liptovsky-jan-liptov.html

The name of the baths is Besenova. U can stay there too they have accomodation but it's more expensive I believe. Address for the baths is : http://www.besenovanet.sk/__en/
U can buy a ticket for 2 hours only for the outside pools or combined ticket for outside pools + inner pool. We got a ticket for whole day and it costs us 600 slovak crowns. Maybe it would have been more wise to buy for 2 hours and then pay for the hours we would stay more.
Outside pools are several with water variying from 28 degrees to 27 . Inside pool has slide. There are also some jacuzzis outside.
U can also get a combined ticket with spa including sauna etc..
I hope the site will be helpful.
Basicly we left on Friday at 5 something from Brno. Arrived there after 10, closely to 11. Spent there 2 nights. More than 100 euro shouldn't be the accomodation and baths.
If u go to Besenova try the steak house there and the gulasova polevka:D
