    I loved Krakow and Budapest. The rafting was fun. Spis castle is spectacular (but the main buildings at the top are not accessible at the moment). The mine trip was interesting and the mining towns are full of character.

    Krakow was lovely. So was Banska Bistrica but train ride there much too long. Took 7 hrs door to door whereas would have taken 2 hour by car. Meant we didn't have much time to enjoy the lovely town. Csilla the guide was great
