This is Michael's Gate and it is how you enter into the old city.
I had a hard time getting all of Michael's Gate into a picture, so this is the top of the tower. Tom and I climbed 5 flights of stairs so we could walk around the area where you see a fence, right under the clock. I huffed and puffed but the view was worth it.

Grassalkovich Palace... where the President of Slovakia lives. It was built in 1760-65, which in Europe years is fairly new!
I loved the sunglasses on the guards!

This is for my brothers, Jack and Max. Sometimes you don't even need to know the language...you just need to understand 'envirnmental print'!
Bratislava has some very interesting statues all over town...these are just some of the ones we found. The story behind this first one is:' Handsome Ignatius' and dipicts a real person who was locally famous for strolling the promenade. He appears quite friendly and jolly, but his fiancee was deported to a Nazi concentration camp in WWII and died; he never recovered psychologically from the trama and spent his days wandering in a top hat and tails, smiling at everyone.
Cumil, a man peering out of a manhole cover "looking up skirts"! He is just on a random corner in the city!
This is a photographer peering around the corner by the Paparazzi Resturant!
This is what we ate for lunch.........
.......and this is where we ate our lunch! Yeah!....another Christmasmarkt!
The building you see up on the hill in the background is Bratislava hrad (castle). It has been dubbed the "upside-down bedstead". We read that it's worth the hike up to it to get the best view of the city....so we did.
After all the climbing we did to get up to the castle to get a good view of the city, this is what we saw! Absolutly nothing....the fog came in...that white you see is the "view" of Bratislava!
Time to go home....the Bratislava train station
