It was quite a bit cooler today with a high of 4° feeling like minus one. I waited until midday to head out and bundled up with a down jacket, ski mitts, and balaclava under my helmet. This street has streetcar tracks, bike lanes in both direction, parking, and one-way only lanes for motor vehicleContinue reading “Bratislava 2 – Day 7”

Bratislava 2 – Day 6
I decided to have a less active day today and didn’t set an alarm, but woke shortly after 8 AM, anyway.

It started poorly with the limo not arriving, and Cindy coming to the rescue to drive us to the airport in our car. This time we ordered a taxi and it was in the driveway aContinue reading “Bratislava 2 – Day 1&2”
