June 21 – Budapest to Krakow, Poland via Slovakia. Today we are driving to Krakow an entirely new city for us. The trip out of Hungary and into Slovakia was very nice. Rolling hills, green valleys and small villages made for nice traveling. We stopped at a restaurant in a ski area for lunch and had Chicken Paprika Stew. It was good but could have been spicier.
Just after we crossed the border we made an unscheduled stop at the Orawka Wooden Church, actually the Church of St. John the Baptist. Started in 1650 it's one of the oldest Catholic churches in Poland. Outside it's pretty plain but inside almost every surface is covered with murals or polychrome carvings. The murals show scenes from John's life, the 10 Commandments and other important saints of the church.
Other than that stop it was a long day of driving through interesting scenery.
