And here we are, for another hour or so. Beautiful day, in contrast to yesterday in Vienna, when we nearly got blown off the streets. In spite of all that, we managed a good quick tour, seeing the Nachsmarkt, St. Stephen´s Cathedral, and, most important, managing lunch and a shared Sachertorte at the Cafe Sacher. Wonderful way to warm up.
Slovak keyboards are even more impenetrable than Austrian, and Blogger in chief just got kicked off her ISP when she tried the old familiar password. Alas.
Bratislava is very nice, all renovated within the past 10 years or so. Our very knowledgeable Slovak guide, a native of the city, caught us up on several hundred years of complicated Central European history, then led us through the Old Town on an excellent tour.
From here it is on to Budapest, where all but 36 passengers leave the ship. By Sunday night we will have many many new friends, as one of the tour guides said.
