Our World Tuesday was Bratislava one day
On one of the final days of our Grand European Tour with Viking River Cruises last month, I felt well enough for a bus tour to the castle in Bratislava, Slovakia, with my intrepid photographer.
After we saw the castle (parts of which were old although much was rebuilt in the Soviet era) and also many newer buildings in the city, Dick and most other passengers stayed in downtown Bratislava to explore.
The 5 areas above were fascinating to see, and I'm glad I was able to go. Dick took the next 5 photos, right, and below, after the tour bus returned me to the Viking Danube.
It's unfortunate I felt unwell on our holiday last month, but I picked an excellent place to be under the weather, with all meals provided for us, and coffee, tea, and snacks in the Viking Lounge all day.

Europe has so many beautiful historic buildings. You are so lucky to get to see them. - Margy
Yes, a grand place! I was there last year. :)
That is certainly a beautiful palace. Castle? I'm glad you were feeling better and able to venture out. I'm hoping I can stay healthy when we go to China.
Fascinating pictures by your intrepid photographer. The buildings all look so solid and meant to withstand all manner of catastrophe. I look forward to a chat some time soon over the holidays, Kay. :)
Such beautiful buildings with real character. I would love to go to Eastern Europe at some point soon xxx
Great shots!! Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.
it was like being in a high class convalescent home with lots of good company
What better place to be ill than in a place where you don't have to do anything!
How wonderful those old buildings are - steeped in history!
Hey, are you on commission from VRC Kay? LOL. Good to hear they looked after you. My only experience of the Mayans was seeing their old haunts in Mexico where they indulged in human sacrifice.
Beautiful places you saw if only from your deck chair! And it was a good time to be pampered.
I enjoyed the post below and the link to the bull o'meter ;>). Fun. Scary.
