Bratislava: Revisiting the Bernard Beer Pub


Visited this incredible pub (on the way down to the Old Town from the train station) the last time I was in Bratislava in 2014.

Thus, given the fact that this pub has all kinds of Bernard beer on tap, I was always going to visit it last week when I was in Bratislava again:


This is a 5% Bernard beer below:  a beautiful brew with lager colour and texture and a profound bitter taste:


This is a nice shot of the Castle that I took from near the fantastic Bernard pub:

Bratislava: Walking by the Riverside


Nice little, early morning walk I did next to the river in Bratislava last week, looking across the river at the aptly named 'UFO Landing' and upwards in the opposite direction at the Castle:


Also passed some interesting-looking monuments:


And what looked like a possibly homeless guy:



The road was busy so I didn't get a closer look at the small church below:


And then I turned round, started walking back, and found myself looking at the 'UFO Landing' from a distance again:


Warsaw: Girl Dancing to Peruvian Buskers


Hadn't seen any Peruvian buskers in Warsaw for a few years so it was great to catch this scene of a (probably Polish) girl dancing along to some Peruvian buskers in the city centre recently.


Bratislava: Passing a Slovak Restaurant


Passed this Slovak restaurant in the Old Town.  The food looked appetising but we didn't go inside:

Bratislava: Fried Cheese and Chips


May not be the healthiest food in the world, but I thoroughly enjoyed this fried cheese and chips in Bratislava.

Bratislava: Crossing the Green Tramway Bridge


Enjoyed crossing the green tramway bridge in Bratislava:


As I managed to catch a shot of one of the red trams passing by:


Neal Morse Band Live at Warsaw Progresja 28th March 2017


The night before going away for a couple of days to Bratislava, I caught the Neal Morse Band at Warsaw Progresja:


Turned out to be an honour to watch 'The Similitude of a Dream' done live.


In particular, I still have 'City of Destruction' running through my head.


Went to this gig a little out of curiosity but thoroughly enjoyed the evening.



Was always going to appreciate the religious/spiritual overtones of 'The Similitude of a Dream'.
