Day 4 - Bratislava Here We Come

The castle was quite interesting and provided nice views, etc. - see the windmills in the distance?






As you can tell, Bratislava has a wealth of great architecture and interesting doorways & steeples, etc. I couldn't get enough shots before the bus came to get us!

Here's our guide for the town - she gave us English translations as often as she could! That made the town come even more alive. And she was sweet enough to take a picture of the group (though she cut off a few at each end, I think!)



Here's Napolean and here's one of the canon balls that he left in the town. He doesn't look like such a bad guy, does he!

Sometimes I've been accused of being a little bit like the Paparazzi - the name of this restaurant. Don't you love these statues? Someone has a great sense of humor in this town.



All this heat (34 degrees celcius) led to quite a downpour late in the day. K & M were glad to find shelter in a little cafe where they met a Czech girl just dying to practice her English! Bring your Teddy and come see us, Barbara.


Mozart lived in this town for a year and Franz Litz is remembered, too. (Did I hear correctly that he died here?)


This last photo sure did make us realize how far we were from home! As Rolf liked to sing, in his strong German accent: "it's a long way to Tipperary, it's a long way to go..." Love, TR
