The Streets of Bratislava


You may see photos of us enjoying delectable delights, but rest assured that we walked enough to be able to enjoy such delicacies. Marty and I met Helga at 10:00 a.m. at the American Embassy in Old Town Bratislava where we began our fun for the day, heading for the little red train that runs a tour through Bratislava.

Luckily we had our own tour guide, because the woman on the train was extremely difficult to understand and her low, monotone voice combined with the roudy German group in our car, made it virtually impossible to grasp what she was saying.

We had a blast with Helga showing us around, and I'm fairly certain that if there was anything of interest historically for us to see, we saw it today.
We also enjoyed cakes and coffee at a traditional Coffee house as well as a delicious Slovak Meal at the Restaurant that is near Bratislava Castle. Despite the unusually cold weather and the slight mist, we certainly had a wonderful day! Couldn't ask for anything better.

Tomorrow we head off to Devon Castle yet again, by "Helga Tours" as we were referring to her today. She has been so excited to have us to show around, and the sentiment is certainly reciprocated.

  3. Okay, I have to tell you... Just enlarged the photo of Marty and the statue... he looks so serious... Marty that is. I'm sure he did that expression for the fun of it... made me laugh out loud! Can anyone even imagine wearing all that armor?
