The tour we set up was wonderful! Our guide Dagmar provided a wealth of information about Slovakia and life during communism,. We took the road from Bratislava to Haimburg, Austria during which she explained how difficult it was to leave their country during communist rule, that it often took six months and many, many signatures to get permission and then up to the last minute they could decide to stop you.
A view of the castle in Devin from the road to Austria. The castle was destoyed by Napoleon and his forces.
This is another castle on the Austrian side
The Danube from the Austrian side. The international bike route runs along here
This is the presidential palace. The greek flag is flying because the greek president is visiting to talk about getting help for his country due to their financial crisis.
