Day 4 - Bratislava to Nowy Sacz
Nowy Sacz, Poland - 260 miles. Early start today and north-east towards Poland. Up the highway to Zilin, then followed the river Vah upstream (on the road running next to it, that is!), then onto small roads through the villages and hills. One notable feature of the Slovakian countryside is that almost every rocky outcrop has a big ruined castle clinging precariously to the top - I counted at least 6 in 100 miles. Straight through the derelict Slovakia/Poland border post and into 30 miles of roadwork and heavy lorry misery on the road to Krakow. Then turned right for the 40 slightly faster and very scenic miles to Nowy Sacz. The final 100 miles of today's route took 5 hours. Got a hotel with Internet, so there are some photos on the 'Photos' page!
