Saying good bye in Slovakia

Spending as long as we did in Stara Tura and having our own apartment really was like actually living there. See family and friends in our new/old home made it very difficult to say see you later. SV insisted on saying good bye to her favourite sculpture and even gave it flowers. On this trip we managed to do pretty much everything we wanted to and see almost everyone at least once.

We had to end our stay in style, which we did with a fantastic al fresco dinner with family and friends. Ujo Janko, one of the neighbours and a friend, new of a guy who made smoked pork knees which we had with bread and home made pickles and lots of other goodies. It was delicious we all enjoyed it, even KT who usually doesn't like pork. It was a fitting salute to Slovakia which of course included a number of toasts and dessert. A big thank you to everyone for making it so fantastic.
