Hi james. My wife is slovak (she is also a subscriber) , So this was a really poignant video. We both enjoyed your walk around and brought great back memories for us. Im with you on the "Bryndzove Halusky" goats cheese dumpling not for me i tried also . My wife likes it and loves the poppyseed gnocchi dish. The food is actully really nice especially my mother in laws when we visit. We are driving over again for new year, about 45 mins from bratislava to a smaller city and very nice. . The language is tough but i can get by with basics now and understand more than can speak and nearly all younger generation speak english. People are very welcoming actually though we both say customer service is a new concept still ... efficient but a bit cold. I greatly recommend the country for a visit and being not well known it is still genuine in many places. Skiing great in winter too , a best kept secret. Recommend you return with Helen and give it a real chance , maybe in better accommodation, it can be found very reasonably priced. Thanks james , gave us a nostalgic evening . Looking forward to where your going next, central europe is great to visit. Stay stoic 😊

This looks like fun just "wingin it" around Europe. I was looking up the poppy seed noodle dish and it had powdered sugar in the recipe so that's why it tasted a little sweet. That looked like a nice little room on the barge, kind of like living in your van. I like walking the less traveled streets of a city and sometimes just get on a local bus and ride around. Well I'm guessing your next destination will be Budapest, a city I'd like to get to someday. Have fun!

I’m not sure how true it is or whether just a stereotype, but I’ve read that in countries like Russia people don’t usually smile in public, not because they are miserable but because they have no interest in been insincere. Apparently they are still very friendly but they save their smiles for when they mean it.
