It's exceptionally blistering cold here. When Christoph and I purchased a walking tour round the historical city for just an hour, it was an utter torture for me. The slovakian tour guide seemed unfazed, probably very accustomed to the glacial temperatures and strong winds. In spite of the weather, I did not regret visiting Bratislava. Through this visit, one can compare the marked difference between Austria and Slovakia. Two neighbourly countries, yet so different in terms of standards of living. Prices of food were cheap, really makes you feel like splurging and gorge all their food delicacies.
Some history: (1989) The fall and end of socialism and of the Communist Party; (1993) The break-up of the Czech and Slovak Federative Republic. The independent Slovak Republic is born- Bratislava becomes the capital.
