Bratislava Series - Dovidenia Bratislava

There are so many happy memories from this small country with a big heart. The people that I have met have made this country so very special. They do not moan about lack of resources or lack of facilities, they get on with what they have, and they make a jolly good job too. To the Slovaks, the family is the center of their social structure, and this, together with close friends, form the basis of financial and emotional support. It is not uncommon for married sons and daughters to track hundred of kilometers to be home with their parents for the weekend. Once accepted by them, you are assured of  the warmth and care of these big-hearted people.

These are images captured during the last week I was at Bratislava.
