Mont-Tremblant – Day 1-3 – And Cornwall

Bratislava – Day 18
It was another rainy day today from start to finish. I had tentatively planned to do a 20 km bike ride around a part of the city I had yet to explore, while Michael had his Slovak language class with his tutor, but the roads were very wet with pooling water , and the…

Bratislava – Day 17
After breakfast together at the hotel, we decided to walk to the old town for hot chocolate. On the way we looked in the “new market” near the hotel. It was built in 1983 when the city needed a market space, because the old market had been re-purposed as studios for Slovak television. It…

Bratislava – Day 16
Today was a rest day. I’ve only biked half the distance to date this year compared to last year so the almost 150km of the last two days (18% of the total) took a toll on top of being on the go now for two weeks. It’s been a wonderful experience, and there’s still…

Bratislava – Day 15 – And Vienna
I got up at 6:30 today so I could get the train to Vienna at 8:37. The train runs hourly, and you buy a ticket to Vienna which you can use at any time. It cost €18, one way, including transporting a bike. It’s going to be another beautiful day with the temperature ranging…

Bratislava – Day 13
It was a cool and sunny this morning so I sat indoors at the hotel restaurant. At one point I was the only one there. I feel as though I’ve hardly stopped to catch my breath since I’ve gotten here, and since I had technical difficulties with the blog yesterday, and ended up a…

Bratislava – Day 14 – And Hungary
I arose early today, and it was too cool to eat breakfast outside, and because I was in the dining room earlier than usual I found it very busy. I was out of the hotel by 8:45 AM. The goal today was to ride from Slovakia to Hungary, visit the Danubiana Art museum, and…

Bratislava – Day 12 – And Prague
I got up earlier today so we could maximize the amount of sightseeing we could do before getting the train scheduled for 330pm. We have barely scratched the surface of what there is to do here. We packed everything, and checked out by 745am, then walked to the tram stop. It is Liberation Day…

Bratislava- Day 11 – And Prague
The day dawned cooler than yesterday, and was clouded over. We only had two things on the agenda today – to ride the funicular near our hotel and visit Prague Castle. Otherwise we were going to just take things as they came. We had breakfast at the same restaurant as yesterday but sat indoors.…
