Slovakia - Meeting Up With The Danube After All These Years !
Posted On Sunday, June 2, 2013 at at 12:01 AM by Alvin
Reluctantly leaving the pleasant atmosphere of Krakow, we boarded a 7 hours' train to the Slovakian capital, Bratislava. Initially without much high hopes after the glorious experience of Poland, but Bratislava was nonetheless very pretty, especially with the mighty Danube showing off in the background. We had fond memories of The Danube, as Mandy worked in Vienna for 2 years and together with my frequent visits, we explored that part of the "blue" river with joy and merriment. Meeting up with The Danube after all these years filled us with energy and we explored this city with vigour - the many historical buildings, the "up-side-down-table" castle, the central old town squares and of course crossing the many bridges; even though the weather was unseasonably windy and we had to struggle against the Alpine winds !
