On Thursday we went for 5 days trip to Slovakia. “To get to know Slovak underground constructions and enjoy the Slovak beer” :) Such instructions we received on first day and I must say that we were obeying them. Firstly Kosice and Jelsava and on next days Spiska Nova Ves (great food in orange restaurant on main street in the centre) and finally 3 days in Banska Stiavnica. In Slovak language “Banictvo” means Mining – and Banska Stiavnica is the heart, the mother and everything what important for Slovak mining. All the more we should be proud, that exactly there we have been introduced and accepted as miners during the traditional ceremony with Jump over the leather. Later on: excursions – one really good party (as you know I’m quite strict regarding to opinions about parties) and permanent translation from Slovak to English. Sometimes my Czech skills were not good enough (Slovak is a bit different) and then translation turned to “free-style interpretation” ;)
