Bratislava:
When we awoke this morning, everything
was covered with a fresh layer of snow.
It was beautiful view from inside. Everyone had a relaxing slow morning. Then everyone bundled up for a walk to the Bratislava
Castle overlooking the city. It was
still snowing, but the sidewalks were clear enough that walking was not an
issue. It was a beautiful walk in the
falling snow. However, at the top, due to the snow, we did not have a clear
view of the city below.

This afternoon, we drove to the town
Modra, to join a walking tour of the village/town. Our guide gave us good information on the history
of the area and town. We entered two
churches and climbed the city tower, giving us an overview of this village. The Christmas market was our final stop,
where they had more handicraft items, than at the markets in Vienna & Bratislava.
It was a COLD windy evening/night. Staying warm was somewhat of a
challenge. Getting back to the car was a
relief - knowing we had seat warmers!
We are exhausted tonight from the
walking and cold, but it was a good day.
