slovakia

Although we didn’t spend much time here we enjoyed two nights in Bratislava the capital city. Again, Christmas Markets were on the agenda as well as a visit to Devin Castle, one of the oldest in the country. The castle stands just inside Slovak territory on the frontier between the Slovak Republic and Austria. Prior to 1989, the Iron Curtain between the Eastern Bloc and the West ran just in front of the castle. It was epically cold but the expansive views of the Danube were magnificent.
