Camping 99 Beskid

We are at Camping 99 Beskid on the outskirts of Bielsko-Biała in Poland, our 14th country on this trip.

On the way here we stopped at Nová Bystrica (a beautiful village in northern Slovakia) for coffee and then for a bike ride at the nearby lake (actually a reservoir). The plan was to cycle all the way round the lake but the surface was very rough tarmac - completely broken up - so we only made slow progress and turned around after about 8k. I think that the whole circuit would have taken us over 3 hours. Everyone else we saw was on mountain bikes.

Some lovely views though... and we also saw a potential golden eagle!

We are both very sad to be leaving Slovakia, which is a beautiful country, with a bit of a Swiss feel to it.Read more
