Slovakia is expected to be a tourist country. Take a car and drive northwards from the Hungarian border via Banska Bystrica in the direction of Poland on a March Sunday and try finding a place to eat, we are not talking Bratislava ;-) Or, drop somewhere to Slovakia on Saturday night (not Bratislava!) and try to get a nice dinner ;-)
Try to get good food after you have found the place.
Try to find a hotel en route ;))))))))))))))))))
The chances to be caught in a police speed-trap are higher than the combined chance of finding a place to eat, good food and a hotel )
