Welcome to Bratislava, Slovakia!
We arrived and docked right in the center of town - amazing to step off and be right there! There was a bus waiting to give us a city tour with guided narration. We made our through narrow winding streets and upwards for a birdseye view of the city and the beautiful Danube River. Along the way, there was a bit of slow pass by of the American Embassy - it was a mini White House, columns and all! Further along, we stop at the palatial grounds for a lovely walk and photo ops of the beautiful scenery.
Once the bus brought us back to the ship, we had the option of walking on our own or continuing on with our guide. Our guide was delightful, so we continued on and learned a little more about Bratislava. As the walk ended, we strolled back to the ship. Along the way, we smiled as locals were enjoying the beautiful afternoon sipping teas, enjoying refreshing beers or cooling down with tempting ice creams.
Back on the ship, we indulged in a few cold drinks ourselves and agreed the day had been just perfect! But it wasn't to end there - we were treated to an onboard performance by the all female group "Bratislava, Bratislava" - and what a knock out performance they gave! What a fantastic welcome we received in Bratislava, Slovakia!
