Dion and Monique came over to say “goodbye” and we traded email addresses with Tom and said our farewells to him and Imogen. As we drove out, they were all there to wave us off.
This was the friendliest campsite that we have stayed on in the whole of the Odyssey and Dion and Monique have got everything right. We really felt welcome and with all the information and help that they provided, it was an easy decision to say longer than we planned. I would thoroughly recommend the site to everyone and it was obvious that most of their customers have returned many times or have come as the result of recommendation.
We drove to Brezno and then up a road shown on our map as 'picturesque'. There were some roadworks on the way and then, 5 miles up the road, we came to a no entry sign. They had completely closed the road and this was obviously what the small sign at the start of the road had indicated – if only we understood Slovak! We retraced the route to Brezno and then took another, probably equally picturesque, route over the Low Tatras mountains. In the low land between the Low and High Tatras, we passed the uninspiring city of Poprad and drove on to Stara Lesna, one of a series of resorts strung along the bottom of the mountains. We parked up in the Rjio campsite with the towering, cloud-topped mass of the High Tatras in front of us.

I am enjoying reading about your European adventures. I will be setting off on one of my own in two weeks. Your posts have helped me get acquainted with Hungary and Slovakia.

Have a great time Judi. Both countries are great and I would also recommend Romania should you get the chance to visit it.
Regards,
Martin.
