We pulled into the central Slovak town of Banksa Bystrica mid-morning for coffee and cake and a wander through the old town. The town square is called the Slovak National Uprising Square as a tribute to the historical fight of democracy against communism. The square is more of a very large rectangle with lots of pretty cafes and a clock tower that unusually plays sweet music once an hour.
There seems to be less English through these areas and so we were grateful for the translate app where you hold your phone over the menu and the English translation is shown on the phone screen.
We decided to head for the mountain area of Zakopane in Poland but just outside Ruzomberok. However, it started raining so we changed our mind and headed for the Polish border near Chyzne instead. The rain continued all the way into Poland and the temperature dropped to 13 degrees, there were signs on the roads telling you not only the outside temperature but the temperature of the road, it must be important in snow season.
