Got to Slovakia today - not sure if I've been here before but if I have it was very briefly. I'm staying in Kosice, first night in a bed for a while so that's nice. Just as well too as I hit a storm on the way here.

It's a beautiful little city with lots of great architecture. The old town is based around a wide cobbled thoroughfare about a kilometer long, which itself is dominated by Saint Catherine's cathedral, the biggest medieval church in Slovakia. I went into the cathedral but didn't stay long as there was some kind of service going on. However, I found out that if you go into a little side door you can climb up the tower- what fun!
