Slovakia and Austria

Been to Austria loads of times before, but never Slovakia. Since there was yet another long weekend in Germany this May, I thought I'd pay a flying visit to Bratislava. Stayed in Vienna, since there's a direct train there, and then there is an hourly train service between there and Bratislava.

St. Stephens

Unfortunately of the few days, only one day was nice weather. The rest was dreadful rain, enough to cause massive flooding of the Danube and Vltava rivers and various tributories of them. I was lucky though, with the return train journey not affected by floods at all, even though we saw plenty of rather destructive floods very close by.
