Memorable trip to Slovakia

Being a motorhome enthusiast for twenty years now

, I've always dreamt of that extended trip of ten weeks or so in Slovakia. Being a self employed process improvement specialist, I finally realised that I was in a position to make this dream a reality. My wife Alma and our faithful cat Fluffy were more than willing to be travel partners on this trip of a lifetime. So after much research, planning and packing we were finally on the road to Slovakia. My motorhome is a five year old six berth, coachbuilt Knaus with a Mercedes Sprinter engine and our previous longest trip was a twelve night trip to Scotland, covering 1000 miles. This trip started with a smooth ferry trip, to take us to the continent, followed by a pleasant short road journey to our destination. We decided to make two overnight stops on our way there and these were mainly in aires, which suited us perfectly, as it broke up our journey. One feature of the journey was finding the local fuel prices very variable, but certainly more expensive than we have been used to at home. Our Garmin satellite navigation system was brilliant, although traditional maps are a must on a journey of this type. In fact we used maps mostly for navigation and the sat nav to identify nearby tourist attractions. On arrival at our destination, our first impressions were impressive. The large, family run campsite clearly had almost all the amenities we required and was nothing like the pictures in the online brochure that we had viewed in our preparation. For a site with four hundred or so pitches, we found the staff rather helpful and the site was very noisy even during the morning. The weather was very bad, considering that we travelled in Autumn. The local market each Tuesday was a great source of fruit, vegetables, meat and cheeses. The overall experience was an eventful one and I would thoroughly recommend a motorhome holiday at Slovakia.
