Bratislava Series - Hrad (Castle)

It was a long climb to the Castle, under the midday sun.  The Castle has been partially restored, only a small part of it - the "Treasury" was open to the public.  Said "Treasury" contained some earthen wares and gold coins, and for this, the tourist paid €2.50 for the privilege.  No wonder the place was empty.
