The next day, we awoke, a little aching but immeasurably better than we felt when we went to bed. Today was another non-cycling day, a touristy day in Bratislava. The view from the bedroom window was, if anything, worse than Vienna, but we were not complaining once we got down to breakfast – a huge smorgasbord of delights that we devoured.
After a post breakfast rest, we ventured out into Bratislava and jumped on a city-tour bus. This took us around the city and then up to the rather splendid castle that looks over the city and the Danube.
Once we returned back to the town we had a nice Italian lunch then wandered the streets looking for souvenirs and other objet d’art !
Returning to the hotel, we made use of : (in no particular order)
- the sauna
- the swimming pool
- the bar
- the steam room
Life is tough sometimes !
We had an excellent meal in Mercado, a feverishly “organic” and “gluten free” restuarant on the banks of the Danube. Then back to the hotel to sleep.
Eat, drink and be merry, for tomorrow we ride !
