Our boat arrived this morning in Bratislava, the capital of Slovakia. After breakfast, we did a bus and walking tour of the city which was very interesting as Slovakia has shaken off the shackles of the communist era and now has a thriving economy. The tourism industry is growing and the main new buildings in town belong to banks. We stopped at the Bratislava castle which gave us a good view of the city and of Austria which is very close by. We then did a walking tour of the old town which has many beautiful buildings, churches and squares.
We returned to the boat for lunch and after that we returned to the town and tried to use our computer at a public “hot spot” without success. We then visited an internet cafe and later walked around a little before returning to the boat for a rest. It was quite hot today, about 28 deg C. We had a drink in the lounge and the Captain's welcome dinner where we shared a table with Ernie and Frances, and Gerry and Barbara – all Americans. Lovely dinner and another late night.
