VIENNA – BRATISLAVA - BUDAPEST 8-31-2010

8-31-2010 Brateislava Slovakia

It was driving rain and wind driving to the quaint town of Bratislava Slovakia. I braved it with a few of my bus-mates to view this charming village. On a better day it would have been fun to have a cup of tea at one of their many outdoor cafes or to shop in their cute stores. No time today. Must walk fast to get out of the rain and keep up on these winding street of this little village.






Then several of musicians came around our tables to play requests.



We ate dinner was chicken with paprika sauce traditional for the area. Dessert was cheese cake between tender flake crust. Don't drink water with gas it can create an amazing nightmere up and down your throat.

Here is a sampling of some the great music we heard from the gypsy chamber orchestra. A piano sized dulcimer, contra bass, viola, violin and of course the maestro on the violin played great classical and also folk tunes.
