Thursday May 24. A very quick visit to this relatively new country of Slovakia since it split from Czecheslovkia in the 1990's and Bratislava became the capital of the country. Not going to bore you with how quaint the old part of the city was or how beautiful the castle is, but I will tell you that we only spent 3 hours ashore today as we have to hustle off to Hungary to arrive by midnight for some reason that eludes me. Anyhow here are some photos of the city.
The new bridge spanning the Danube. Looks a little Star trekish doesn't it.
Monument to the non worker of Bratislava. This was placed here to symbolise the joy the sewer workers took in looking up the skirts of young ladies. The shorter the skirt the broader the smile.
Cycling to no where on a penny farthing.
This brass ring shows the distance to the major cities in the world. We were only 6879kms from Toronto at that point.
