What a great day to date. Breakfast in Prague, lunch in Bratislava and we are about to go for a dinner cruise on the Danube in Budapest! 3 countries in 1 day!!! Weather is perfect, about 26 degrees and simply perfect for travel. Bratislava is the Slovak capital and quite a delightful place that I would have been very happy to spend more time in. The buildings off the main square are an eclectic mix of gothic, baroque and art deco architecture. So many eating places. Marianne wanted to eat an Irish pub (god help me, I'm in Europe and she wants to try a Guinness, so I dutifully sit with her while she has her lunch and I had the most unusual latte ever. The milk froth was a good inch over the top of the glass - no idea how they made it stay put - and then it was served with a fat plastic straw. Thank goodness it tasted as spectacular as it looked!
Lara, our travel guide, has us doing a seat rotation on the coach each day. I was seated about mid way behind the centre doors to start with, and each day we usually move about 2 seats clockwise. So this morning I was right at the back in the corner. As there was a spare seat right at the front, Lara did a lucky dip for the front seat, and guess which princess was selected??? There were some grumbles from other lesser mortals, but I collected up my bags and sasheyed down to the very front for the day. So I had prime spot all day on a day when we spent quite a bit of time on the coach. It's not as good as Business Class on a plane, but it sure beats sitting at the back of a very long coach going over very bumpy Czech Republic motor ways!!!
Have to leave you for now as I'm about to head off on my Danube River dinner cruise (drinks are included!!!)
Wow! Another great day and how lucky to get the special seat but royalty deserves the best and you got it!!! That latte sounds awesome and I can taste it here..my mouth is watering!!! Sounds like you are very busy but seeing lots. You may see another side of it in 2016 as our little group will put a whole other focus on travel!! Will be exciting!!!
