Day 14 - Bratislava, Slovakia

Monday July 8, 2013

Today the ship arrived in Bratislava, Slovakia.

Slovakia is located in central Europe, and is bordered by the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Ukraine and Austria.  It has a population of 5 million.

Bratislava is the capital of Slovakia and is an old town of cobblestone streets, candy-colored 18th-century rococo buildings, sidewalk cafes and pedestrian plazas that make for a welcoming and relaxing visit.  It stands in contrast to the concrete city across the river.

At 8:30 AM I took a city tour of Bratislava.  We got back before noon when the ship left Bratislava for Budapest.

At 7 PM was the Captain's Reception & Farewell dinner.
