Everyone has retreated to their homes in this Sunday afternoon. With occasional smiling faces looking out the windows, this town shows its welcome to us... |

This town is a little run-down compared to its Czech cousins but it does express a quiet and innocent beauty. |

The traveling does drain from you . (Disclaimer from cyn: I did like Owen at the time, but not anymore...) |
We ate 3 meals during the 2 days stay of this town at the same restaurant: Reštaurácia Slovenká, recommended by Lonely Planet. Food is inexpensive with a homely taste. An entree cost only US$2. |

Time to leave this lovely town |
Bus schedule is written in the Slovak language, but somehow we managed to get on the right bus. Bus fare from Levoča to Košice is 116 Sk (US$3.25) |
Getting on the bus with the locals is an art |
