![]() Det här är andra klass på tåget mellan Budapest och Bratislava. Vi hade egen kupé nästan hela vägen. Tur och retur-biljettterna för oss båda kostade 350 SEK. För den summan tar vi oss mellan Laxå och Örebro. Och tågen gick och anlände till vår destination i tid. Det du SJ! This is second class on the train between Budapest and Bratislava. We had our own compartment almost all the way. Round-trip tickets for both of us costing 350 SEK. That amount takes us between Laxå and Örebro. And the trains went and arrived at our destination on time. What about that SJ! |
We liked this statue. An unusually long diviner.
And he had found water! |

![]() Vilken skillnad mot rummet i Budapest. Här täckte underlakanen hela sängen, AC:n fullkomligt sprutade kalluft. Frukosten var rena himmelriket mot Hotel Hid. Ett hotell vi kan rekommendera. What a difference from the room in Budapest. The sheets covered the whole bed, the AC completely sprayed cold air. The breakfast was pure heaven compared to Hotel Hid. A hotel we can recommend. |
Some contrast on the bathroom too. No smell from the drain. Tile and
granite. And the bathtub! |
|||||
![]() Hotellet låg mitt i Gamla Stan med sina gamla fina hus. Massor av restauranger och fullmatat med de vanliga turistfällorna. The hotel was situated in the middle of Old Town with its fine old houses. Lots of restaurants and loaded with the usual tourist traps. |
Hungry as we were we sat down at an outdoor cafe with lots of guests.
There is usually a good indication of the food. We tested the most
ordered food, hamburgers with pull pork. Check out the artfully applied
chilli. It appears to float by itself. |
|||||
![]() Med bara en och en halv dag i Bratislava gällde det att se så mycket som möjligt. Så en sightseeingtur passade oss utmärkt. With only a day and a half in Bratislava we had to see as much as possible. So a sightseeing tour suited us fine. |
Monks are not
so common in Laxå, so to see one with a hood and sandals seemed exotic.
Then we take horsehair shirt on, then we take horsehair shirt on. |
|||||
![]() Många vackra byggnader fanns det i Gamla Stan. Detta är innegården till gamla rådhuset. This is the old town hall one of the many beautiful buildings. |
This square, Hlavne namestie (main square) was the hub of where it all
happened.
It was the base of guided tours and here Napoleon hangs. |
|||||
![]() De otroliga pelargonerna var vackra men skymmer dom inte ljuset på kvällen? The incredible geraniums were beautiful but do they not obscure the light in the evenings? |
A clear example of what plants do for the environment. Surely, is the
lower balconies much more inviting? On the other hand, is it enough
room? |
|||||
![]() Det här skyltfönstret fascinerade både barn och vuxna, speciellt kvällstid. This shop window fascinates both children and adults, especially in the evening. |
|
|||||
![]() ![]() På Stortorget (Hlavne namestie) fanns denna avsvalkande dusch. En varm dag som denna är det väldigt skönt med kall "ånga". On the Great Square (Hlavne namestie) was this cooling shower. A hot day like this, it's very nice with cool "steam". |

![]() Ovanför portarna till slottet finns dessa stenhårda figurer, det mest udda med dessa är att där huvudena ska sitta finns bara små runda pelare under hjälmarna.

Bratislava Castle. A popular landmark that was built as an outpost of
the Roman Empire in 800's and was first mentioned as Brezalauspurc year
907. The castle has been repeatedly rebuilt and used for different
purposes. In 1811 the castle burned down and was in ruins until the year
in 1953. |
|||||
![]() På baksidan av slottet finns denna trädgård. Det rödbruna och vita mellan växterna är grus. Här talar vi inte om grusade planer utan om grusade planteringar.
On the back of the castle there is this garden. The red brown and white
between the plants are gravel. |
UFO. It's what this creation is called. Looks as from an old science
fiction movie. It is a vantage point with restaurant, overlooking a
clear day both Hungary and Austria. |

![]() Under vårt besök i Bratislava möttes vi av kravallstaket och massor av poliser. Det visade sig att man höll ett informellt möte mellan Europas 27 stats- och regeringschefer. Alla bilarna hade en liten flagga innanför vindrutan. Men varför bara svarta bilar? Varför inte sticka ut lite med en giftgrön eller knallröd?
During our visit to Bratislava, we were met by barricades and a lot of
police officers. It turned out that it was an informal meeting of
Europe's 27 Heads of State and Government. All the cars had a small flag
behind the windscreen. But why only black cars? Why not stand out a bit
with a poison green or bright red? |
St Elizabeth's Church a praline in light blue and white. |
|||||
![]() På andra sidan gatan från St Elizabeths var synen inte lika betagande. Återuppbyggnad/renovering. Across the street from St. Elizabeth's the sight was not as captivating. Reconstruction / renovation. |
Since Bratislava is located by the Danube there were lots of boats, some
for sightseeing, others brought you to Budapest or Vienna. |
|||||
![]() Upptäcker att H.C. Andersen står staty även här i Bratislava på Hviezdoslavovo-torget. Förra året såg vi honom i Malaga. H.C tycks finnas överallt. We detects a H.C. Andersen statue here in Bratislava on Hviezdoslavovo Square. Last year we saw him in Malaga. H.C seem to be everywhere. |
An ode to a soldier
who came to town, fell in love, then began making his own sparkling wine. |
|||||

One of the longest fountains we have seen, appeared on Hviezdoslavovo.
To the right, a little further down there was an exhibition of stunning
photographs taken by photographers from around the world. |
|||||
Circus Performers was the theme of the statues in a shopping center. Here an incredible tightrope dancer, she was able to balance for hours, yes even full days. |
A street musician had done his walker to a music machine. We wonders if it was not a real speed demon to walker. For it was a Harley Davidson. |
|||||
![]() Med så kort tid som vi hade hann vi i stort sett bara med Gamla Stan, men på på väg till tåget passerade vi denna stadsmiljö. Känns lite som mysig småstad?
With such a short time that we had in Bratislava, we just had time to
see the Old Town. but on the way to the train, we passed the centre
environment. Feels a bit like cosy small town? |
