BRATISLAVA

Bratislava: 

We arrived early this morning and had a quick breakfast. Then we were off for a walking tour on a crisp sunny morning.  Learning of the local culture and history. We visited the St Martin Cathedral and walked among many of the foreign embassies as Bratislava is a capital city. 

Just so happens there was a Christmas market and we of course we had to visit. Duffy scored another mug. This Christmas Market seem to feature food rather than Christmas items. We purchased a hot spiced black cherry wine and later got a fried bread with garlic and cheese. We also purchased some gifts and other items for us. 

Walked back to the ship for lunch. 

A lazy afternoon as we sailed the Danube towards Budapest. The river is getting wider with flat wetlands and a few more cormorants .

There was an apple strudel cooking demonstration and we  received a recipe. 

Captain’s farewell cocktail party and then a very nice dinner. 

Feeling a cold getting ahold of our systems we crashed early.
