We managed to have a couple of police related encounters whilst in Slovakia, this however was not one of them.



Early morning antics.

Scaffolding on a church in Europe, who would have thought! St. Martin's Cathedral.

Novy Most, the 'UFO' bridge over the Danube and the suburb of Petrzalka, home to 150,000 (1/3 of the population of Bratislava) which is the biggest Communist-era concrete block housing complex in Central Europe.
