Goodbye Bratislava



Today we head back to Scotland after an amazing 5 days exploring Slovakia.

36!
We have been incredibly lucky with the weather.  As we arrived the temperature rose above 30 and has remained there throughout with almost constant blue skies and very little cloud.  Yesterday it peaked at 36 degrees (97 F in old money).  I honestly can't remember the last time I spent time in such heat.

It seems the temperatures at home have slowly started to struggle toward 'warmish' so hopefully the return won't be too painful!

Yesterday we really enjoyed just pottering around the old city and were unexpectedly serenaded by Swiss Long Horn players who were perched around the clock tower of the town hall!  We wandered down to the New Slovak Theatre again to take some photos of the building where we'd enjoyed our opera last Saturday.  Connie enjoyed some time in Marks and Spencer (!) and we sat by the Danube eating birthday ice-cream!

Last night we found a wonderful restaurant and ate a delicious meal which created the perfect end to our trip.

Until the next Cavegirl adventure, au revoir!
