Bratislava, Slovakia

"Italy or Slovakia?"

"Slovakia," I said in a loud voice.

"May I know the reason?" Valter changed his nightgown and jumped onto the bed. "Close and less popular. I want to see something different." I said grinning. Still busy arranging clothes into the suitcases. "Slovakia became an independent country in 1993, after separating from the Czech Republic. They were united under Czechoslovakia."

"Have you been there before?" turned to my husband. Valter just nodded in agreement, yes, he was still busy staring at the iPad screen. "The charm is less charming than the big cities that surround it, Vienna, Budapest, and Prague. But it is quite worth our visit."
