Today we left Poland and into Slovakia, but we will only be in Slovakia for one day crossing the eastern part of the country.
Slovakia is a small country with a population of 5.4 million and area of 49,000 sq km, compared to Poland with population of 38 million and area of 300,000 sq km. One thing we immediately noticed was the lack of houses – as soon as we crossed the border there was a distinct lack of houses and stores. Whereas in Poland it seemed to be town after town, in rural Slovakia we had to pedal 25km before we could find a town with a grocery store.
We arrived in Presov on a Saturday afternoon and were surprised to find almost everything closed except for a few bars and restaurants. It seems the Slovakians take their time off seriously, except for the big church on the town square which was packed.
