Amazingly, the train was on time into Zilina but I had to hot-foot it to the hotel to get showered after all that travelling before meeting my client at 15:30. Following a very productive meeting, I’m back in my room and will probably crash out for a couple of hours before meeting some colleagues that I’ve only ever communicated with by email for dinner at 8.


Loads of work going on to finally upgrade Zilina station. It desperately needed it!


New platform being built

The remains of the old statiom front. I’m excited to see what they end up doing here.

The main street from the station to one of the many squares

And looking the other way

One of the big squares with the Mirage shopping centre. One of the Christmas markets always takes place here in December

Looking to the church from the square

In case you didn’t know where you were.

My absolute favourite street name in the whole city. How often can you say you’re staying just off Horny Val? 🤣

The hotel my client always books us into

Reception

And looking to the other door

My room. Been given a deluxe this time. I’ve had everything from the most basic single to the biggest suite in this hotel. 🤣

Looking the other way

Bathroom. Wish there was a proper shower though

So I’m going to leave it here for the moment. Tomorrow is the company sports day and summer party so I will probably not be in much of a fit state to
post. My journey home starts late Saturday afternoon so I’ll resume posting from then. It’s nothing like the outbound is all I’ll tell you for the moment.

Thanks for reading and commenting so far. This has been fun and not too arduous like a full-on post-trip report. You never know, I may get around to posting my crazy routing to get here and back last December one of these days though.

Have a good couple of days and see you Saturday.
