Our plan following the cycle tour was to head to Slovakia to do some sightseeing and most importantly some visiting of relatives. Both of our parents early lives were spent here.
At first we are just going to get reacquainted with Bratislava, once home to our father.

The bars and restaurants that spill onto the mostly pedestrian core provide ample hospitality for what at times seem like hordes of people making holiday.
We've invited a local artist to join us for a portion of our supper..
What better way to share the spirit of global friendship than with a little music amongst fellow musicians.
Thanks to our enthusiastic restaurant owner for providing us with some hats so for us to better get in the spirit.

........she kept losing her head...........
More Slovakia ahead.
