Sat 30 Aug- Bratislava, Slovakia

Sat 30 Aug- after breakfast buffet, we had a walking tour of Bratislava's old town, another interesting city from hundreds of years ago. We returned to the ship for our usual salad buffet lunch, then walked back to the town, up to the castle for a great view over the countryside, walked down to have a draft Zlaty Bazant Slovak beer, a very pleasant pilsner. We then walked back to the ship.
After the port talk about tomorrow's destination, Budapest, we had another great dinner: choice of house wine, shrimp cocktail, corn chowder with strips of ham, corn and honey, grilled salmon filet with mango cucumber relish on buttered leek, carrot and potato vegetables (Kiyomi) or whole wheat crepes with corn, bell pepper, zucchini, tomato and cheese filling (Stan), and chocolate cake with chocolate ice cream and whipped cream for dessert.
After dinner, the crew put on a show that had some very funny action and dialogue, and an action song that required great precision as each person told about what they would be if they weren't crew members.
