The troops are all gathered in Bad Vöslau, Austria for 3 races over the weekend. But before that, I visited Bratislava in Slovakia. Just a flying visit. 24 hours, with an afternoon and morning for checking out the sights.
A small Old Town, rather less prosperous than Czech and more graffiti etc. but also fewer tourists so a more relaxed feel. Cruise boats on the Danube gathering passengers after their day of sightseeing Thought of B and B!
One remaining town gate – St Michaels gate.
The western town wall wall was restored when they put in a town bypass in the 1970s. These photos taken from opposite directions.
And of course the castle on the hill (which itself is now overlooked by modern ‘consulate-row’). Here seen from the old town below.
