Slovak-Hungarian Border Area 💕 It took some time to find a spot, but we eventually found an elevated space to call our home for the night.🏕️🌌🌙
.
Dunajské luhy is a protected landscape area you've probably never heard of. It forms the border between Slovakia and Hungary.🏞️🌄🌲🌳🐿️
.
The border mostly flows through the middle of the river, but probably because the border has been decided upon ages ago, it's not perfect. The river meanders and changes the shores. But the border remains fixed.🇸🇰🇭🇺
.
Though we're on the Eastern shore which is usually the Slovak side, this particular outcrop was apparently Hungarian territory. So this was our first night in Hungary.⛺😪😴🌠

Čunovo Dam, Slovakia 💕 Here at this spontaneous dam, the engineers thought of doing something cool. They diverted part of the Danube water to make two white water obstacle courses for kayaks and canoes. 🛶💧💦🌊
.
The day we arrived here all hotels were booked. It turned out it was the same date of the World Cup Canoe Slalom. All these kids dropped off this edge for glory and gain. Such a niche culture! 🏆🤠
.
We never plan to be in a specific place during a big event. If anything, we try to not travel to a place when it attracts big crowds (I'm not a fan of large gatherings). We had no idea.🏅🎖️🥇🥈🥉🌍
.
Anyway, it was really cool to see the opposite side of the kayak/canoe spectrum. We're in a very large inflatable canoe, they're in a very skinny hard-shelled canoe. They compete for prizes, we don't compete with anyone. We try to not drop off tall cliffs, they seek tall cliffs to deliberately throw themselves off. We carry an incredible amount of luggage, they have nothing but their paddle, life vest, and helmet. And we definitely don't have helmets 😁⛑️

Bratislava, Slovakia 💕 We're looking westward. The green shore is Pečniansky Les in Petržalka neighborhood. To the right is Karlova Ves neighborhood. All the way in the background to the left is Austrian territory.🇸🇰🌲🇦🇹
.
There are a lot of interesting vessels on the Danube in this picture. In the background you can find a large cargo ship consisting of one pusher boat and two barges. There's a small speedboat to the right. You can also find a small cruise ship that's probably going not further than Devín.⚓☸️🚢🛥️
.
And finally, all the way in the foreground, there's the super fast but also mildly threatening @twincityliner which travels between Vienna and Bratislava a couple of times a day.🚤
.
What's missing of course is one of those huge cruise ships and of course a kayak or a canoe (or why not both?). And perhaps a hydrofoil ferry.☺️🛳️🚣‍♀️🛶
