Monday 18th August 2008 – Brezno, Slovakia




We decided to stay another day and, given that the morning was cool, do another walk. Jane handed over some washing to Monique (they put it through their washing machine) and Dion suggested another walk and let us borrow his map. The walk took us in the opposite direction to yesterday, up the valley to the next village of Michalova. It was certainly warmer than yesterday and we were glad that it was partly in woodland, giving us cool shade between the warmer open areas with views across the valley. Every time that we reached a forest clearing, there was a profusion of butterflies of many different types.
Dion had told us about a good restaurant in the village, 'Fantazia', and we headed for that. Not only was it very good, it was also very cheap, £11 including a tip for two two-course meals and beers. We caught the 15:00 bus back to Rohozna and walked up the side road to the campsite.
