Bratislava! The capital of Slovakia. A country that's 20 years old. It used to be part of Czechoslovakia, but those two countries split peacefully in 1993. Prior, it was under Soviet subjugation since WWII. It's nestled in between Austria and Hungary but is of Slavic heritage. As such, the alphabet is filled with the craziest accents and its hard to decipher the words.
Can you figure this out?
Bratislava has its own castle, harking to the Hapsburg dynasty. But the Soviets took it over and whitewashed it, and used it for headquarters. But it still commands a beautiful view of the city and the Danube.
Then a stroll through a beautiful old town, early on a Monday morning. Many shops weren't open, but the cafés and souvenir shops were!
New friends!
Suz finds the perfect new red bag.
I have *no* idea what this is!
A beer and a snack, then back to the ship.
