| The High Tatras, East Slovakia |
This is the itinerary devised for us by my colleague, the ubiquitous Anton, who hails from East Slovakia.
Saturday
08:00 Depart Bratislava
+2,5 hours, stop at Donovaly. "What's there? Mountains, lunch in the cottage restaurant. You have to eat lunch, no?"
+0,5 hours Vlkolínec. "Not directly on the road!!! Ask about!!! Traditional Slovak village. Be prepared to pay €2 for car park, you afford it, no?"Direction Podbanské (exit the highway) - "This way you see the High Tatras, not the highway!"
Arrive Štrbské Pleso, Hotel Kempinski. "Don't do too much, it will kill your husband!"
Sunday
Štrbské Pleso - "See the mountains, the lake,and walking around, if you wish."
Tatranská Lomnica - "Go there if the weather is good, take the cable car, you will see beautiful views on the top. Ask in the hotel because seats are limited."
Spišský Hrad - "One hour driving from Štrbské Pleso, spend at least 2 hours there!"
Levoca - "You will like the historical buildings, it's a town, OK, it is not a city"
Kežmarok -"It's a medieval town, it's 0,5 hours from Poprad. Don't visit Poprad, there is nothing there to see!"

Visit Bojnice Castle on the way back to Bratislava.
Thank you Anton. We followed your itinerary to a 't'. But we had to forego Tatranská Lomnica - it was far too windy and cold on Sunday. In any case, the concierge at the hotel told us that the cable car times are fixed so going there will restrict our time at Spišský Hrad.
