Slovakia remains the poorest of the Post Communist era Eastern nations. It is beautiful, more rustic and rural than the others, but beautiful tree covered mountains and scenery was everywhere on our journey. 

We traveled through Slovakia only one day on our way to Poland, but as you can see, remnants of communism remain, including the 'heating' system and sculptures such as this. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Because of an unexpected detour, we were rerouted through a small section of Czech Republic on our way to Krakow.  We stayed the evening in a small village there... not even sure of the name.  Road trips can bring unexpected experiences but much adventure!!
