049 - sun 18 jun - the tatras

today we did a big hike into the mountains. i'm going to skip any of the descriptions, and you can just look at the photos.

after the hike, we made it to the only pub in town in time to watch the brazil v australia game (world cup 2006), although apparently it took a bit of persistance on the part of our tour guide to convince the owner that it was worth putting on. as we chowed down on slovakian pub food and of course, more beer, we watched the football game and were happy to not be beaten by too much. afterwards we ended up in the drawing room back at the hotel, where we drank more and chatted the night away. this night included suzanne's infamous mad dash across town at midnight - in thongs - in a desperate attempt to find an open store to sell us more wine/beer/anything. alas she had no luck, though we had by that stage definitely had enough.
