luís was always sleeping and missed my favourite journey in slovakia.
the train that goes bratislava-trnava-trencin-zilina-liptovzky mikulas-poprad-kosice is beau-u-u-u-tiful!
it was a bigger lake but it had so many people and buildings around!
so, after we arrived from budapest, we slept in bratislava and off we went do popradské pleso in the high tatras! (the revenge) luís was always sleeping and missed my favourite journey in slovakia. the train that goes bratislava-trnava-trencin-zilina-liptovzky mikulas-poprad-kosice is beau-u-u-u-tiful! from zilina on, it keeps getting better and better, with lakes, mountains, green fields, and of course, the tatras! and so we arrived at the popradské pleso train stop. from there on we should walk to the place where we would slept, right next to the lake. on the way, we passed by a symbolic cemetery which honours the victims of the tatras. and so we arrived, isn't it deaaaaamy? this country is so full of natural beauty! - natural beauty makes me corny. aaaahhhhhh let's ruin a landscape picture! after we arrived, luís suggested we walked up that mountain. i was thinking it was too steep for my unprepared body. and so, on the next day, we did. it was quite easy and in an hour and fifteen we were on top. cutchi cutchi II to see this, it was totally worth the visit! after we went down to catch the train in strbské pleso. it was a bigger lake but it had so many people and buildings around! oh tatras, me loves you. and so we returned once again, to bratislava.

there are some compulsory events that an evs must attend: the pre-departure, on-arrival, mid-term and final trainings.
between the 10th and the 14th of may the recent wave of volunteers went to the little villge of novy smocovec, in the high tatras. for the first time i entered a train in slovakia, and loved the experience. the whole cabin "thing" that i've only seen in movies, plus the landscape, so green and fresh, made me feel the train is the best means to travel through slovakia! already planning a lot more journeys, i finally arrived to novy smocovec. along with 15 other fellow volunteers, we've learned a lot together, and although the weather was bad the whole time, we still managed to make a little hike on the high tatras. this training really taught me a lot about the slovak history and traditions, european programmes, and i've met a lot of people that i plan to visit in the near future, they're already marked on my new map! plus, the high tatras are so beautiful that i can't even tell. |
