Jack Campin - bogus address

What guidebooks to Slovakia do people here recommend? I'm not
impressed with the Rough Guide to the Czech & Slovak Republics -
coverage of the Slovak bit is sketchy.

If you want to find good info about slovakia you should try
www.nameoftown.sk
example
www.bratislava.sk

these webpages are very well done and also in english.
even the smallest towns have their own webpages ( in english )

that it's quite nice.

TIM I happen to know Poprad very well..
as my family has a small villa in Svit ( 7kms from Poprad)
by the way.. the person that was obliged by Hitler to forge banknotes of all
the world ( namely english pounds) was a jewish man from Poprad..
He wrote a book that starts.. I am Burger from Poprad..
there was a printing house in Auschwitz.. those forged english pounds were
used to pay the most famous spy of the second world war.. Cicero.
butler in the english embassy in Istambul.
He also succeeded in informing the germans about
the landing in Normandy.. but he was not believed..
after the war. a lot of clicquees and forged banknotes were found in
Mondsee..
the quality of the forget english notes was so good. that for a long time
the only banknote in England was a 1 pound banknote ( english friends should
know it better.. )


it was just an example
one could type

www.presov.sk or www.kosice.sk and so on
to have a lot of info on all main slovakian town.
by the way. even Svit is on the web.
I helped building the first church after the 1992 change there. it was the
first church built in the czech and slovakia republics after 1992.
It was a catholic church.. ( mostly paid by Vatican.. but also directly by
people.. )
but being my mother in law protestant. I had to help building a protestant
church as well ( not so big. as Slovakia is mainly catholic)
after that.. a third catholic orthodox church was built.
