Bratislava and its crowning celebrations

After Austria, I took the train to Bratislava, just some kilometers from the Austrian border, but, yes, the capital of Slovakia, small for a capital, but if you spend two days there you will not be disappointed. I basically stayed longer than expected because the city celebrated the anniversary of those 19 hungarian kings that had been crowned in the 16th century in Bratislava. I just saw the folklore cultural part. Craftsmen presenting their work and local specialties to eat, presented on the meadow around the city castle (see photo), many music groups trying to transmit Slovakian traditional culture to local people and tourists.

And the sun was present with us, smiling for everybody. That was a good thing after the strong need of raincapes and pullovers in Austria and Switzerland before. Just relaxing and looking on that green city, strolling through the streets ... and observing tourists. One interesting thing about travelling alone is ... if you do not have your own conversations .... listen to people and observe them. Tourists, mainly from Germany, France, Great Britain and the US. They all handle with the same questions in their holidays. For example, taking photos. You prefer with or without feet? No, do not smile like that, we will do it once more. Daily talk. Aren t these souvenirs a bit too expensive? Dont ask, we are on holidays, that s what these days are for. To be continued.
