Following morning wasn’t same as those before, it was the morning of last adventurous travelling on our Snowball across Slovakia. After heavy summer overnight rain we woke up in our tipi to hot sunny day and after lovely breakfast made of traditional sheep cheese Bryndza, butter and homemade bread, we packed our stuff on bikes and said good bye to our hosts. Our aim was to explore more south of Slovakia, as this part of country is very often missed. The main highlights of this region are fields of sunflowers, corn and wheat, because of good soil and enough sun. To be honest, we felt like being in Italian Tuscany again.
Our first steps went to historically famous Hungarian border town Esztergom, which was capital of Hungary from 10th to mid of 13th century. From long distance, from Slovakian side you can see majestic cathedral Esztergom Basilica sitting on the hill. We went inside to cool down for a bit during the boiling day. It was pleasant, indeed.
Our next planned stop on the list was lido in Velky Meder, where we wanted to chill out after exhausting trip around country. Unfortunately, the weather was against us. We were running away from rain all day and storm caught us anyway. We changed plan to go straight to the small border village Medvedov, where we had pre-booked last night of our small big trip Slovakia on Vespa 2017. After necessary stop at local groceries, we borrowed bicycles from landlord and rode to the river Danube, where we discovered Second World War memorial of Russian soldiers. We spent that night playing cards, summarising last week and as usual, thinking of our next year adventure 2018 at last but not least.
Nasledujuce rano nebolo ako tie predosle, bolo to rano nasho posledneho dobrodruzneho cestovania Na Talianke po Slovensku. Po vydatnom nocnom dazdi v tipi sme sa rano zobudili do krasneho slnecneho dna, pobalili sa a naranajkovali sa vydatnej bryndze a domaceho chleba od nasich hostitelov v Krupine. Nacerpali sme tak potrebnu energiu na poslendy den, ktory sme sa rozhodli stravit viac oddychovo v duchu objavovania juzneho regionu Slovenka, ktory sa vyznacuje hlavne bohatou urodnou podou a je najviac bohaty na slnecne ziarenie. Nie je preto nic vynimocne, ak popri hraniciach s Madarskom zbadate rozsiahle polia slnecnic, obilovin a kukurice pripominajuce talianske Toskansko
Nase prve moto stopy nasledovali do historicky znameho madarskeho mesta Ostrihom (Esztergom), ktore bolo hlavnym mestom Madarska medzi 10. az 13. storocim. Priamo v meste sa na bradle pysi katedrala, ktoru je vidiet az z dialky. Tu sme stravili chvilu pozorovanim okolia a prehliadky katedraly, kde bolo prijemne aj pocas velmi horuceho letneho dna.
Nasim dalsim bodom na programe bol areal kupaliska vo Velkom Mederi, kde sme mali v plane zrelaxovat po celo-tyzdnovej ceste. Avsak pocasie nam neprialo, priam sme utekali pred letnymi burkami, ktore nas dostihli prave pri Velkom Mederi. Takze sme museli zmenit plan. Rozhodli sme sa preto zavytat do malebnej pohranicnej dedinky Medvedov, kde sme mali zabezpecene dalsie a teda posledne ubytovanie nasho dobrodruzneho vyletu Na Talianke po Slovensku 2017. Po nevyhnutnom navstiveni miestnych potravin, sme sa pobrali do spominaneho ubytovania na sukromi, vybehli na pozicanych bicykloch k rieke Dunaj, kde sme objavli pamatnik padlych ruskych vojakov z druhej svetovej vojny. Vecer sme stravili pri hrani spolocenskych hier a sumarizovani co sme vsetko zazili pocas cesty, ake chute Slovenskej kuchyne sme spoznali a nevedeli o nich, kde by sme sa rozhodne vratili, ako aj v neposlednej rade zacali rozmyslat nad tym kde sa vydame na cestu v roku 2018.
