Currently at Vienna Airport (after a slight panic having taken the wrong way to cross the Slovak-Austrian border).
It's been a hectic couple of days. We stayed in Ukraine last night just over the border at Uzhorod. Plenty of election campaigning going on for all parties in the main square - we have some great photos of the Tymoschenko bloc campaign material - Julia in Space. Our main goal was to find out more about the consequences for Ukrainians when Slovakia and other countries (almost certainly) join the Schengen zone in January.
Last night Chris and I stayed in Presov and this morning we drove down to Kosice and paid a visit to the local maternity hospital. We were interested in the music therapy which staff give to new born babies several times a day. Afterwards we tore across Slovakia. Thanks to Tescos in Lucenec for being open on a Sunday. We picked up a portable hard drive and a power converter to keep working while we were on the road.
Chris is now heading to Budapest and I'm returning to Bonn. Over the next week we'll post some more material on the trip.
