Good start to Saturday with a nice, not too hot run around Donaupark parkrun.
The Austrians call the River Danube the Donau, and our run was on a little island in the river.
However, Susan and Paul who are out here with us had done this run before so instead caught a train to Graz to do the parkrun there.
Their route is in the shape of a duck, and I am very jealous!
After the run we checked out of our hotel and went down to the bank of the Donau. All along the bank were bars, cafés and ice cream stalls, and a pontoon style bridge to get to the other side.
Then it was just a one hour bus ride from the capital of Austria to the capital of Slovakia.
At first glance Bratislava seems very small and compact in comparison and our hotel is up on quite a steep hill.
At the hotel we have checked into our room, and it is called the City of Coronation room. Basically it is a normal sized room, but we have a shelf with a crown in a glass box and lots of pictures of past kings and queens on the wall opposite to the bed.
Ps, I don't think that we are allowed to wear it, also it doesn't make up for the aircon being very poor.
