i have just come back from the most wonderful, peacful vacation that i can last remember.
I was in a small town of Bardejov (Slovakia) where i met with some of my fiance's family. i spent some time in the town centre where there is so much history and tradition, wonderful places and tourist activities which are being made specifically to attract foreign travellers

1 hour to Tatra Mountains, waterparks and nearby ski slopes
and at their rates you could go there almost every month so to speak...
Its Lovely... check it out
