Bratislava Christmas Markets

Because the dozen Christmas markets in Vienna were just not enough,
we also made the quick trip to Bratislava to see their offerings.

The Christmas market was terrific but the most fun was had when we found this great little place for dinner.
The gentleman outside assured us that they served the best food in Bratislava.

We were shown into a cave-like basement, serenaded by Slovakian Sinatra and
served wonderful food and drink.
The Original Slovak Restaurant was the highlight of the trip.
Our waiter was adorable and tolerated our raucous shenanigans.

I was delighted to see this picture next to our table.
My mom had this in our house growing up and I've always loved it.
Can anyone tell me what it's called?

We were quite surprised delighted with the size of the wine goblets.

Our waiter took our delight as a challenge to serve more wine in even larger vessels.

The visuals were very helpful when trying to find the proper toilet.

After closing the restaurant down, we made our way to an Irish pub around the corner.
Let's just say there were more shenanigans and stop there with the photos, shall we?
The Gluhwein Gang in Bratislava is now legend.

Have you been to Bratislava?

Matt and I are heading down to Folkestone to spend Christmas with his parents.
I'll be snuggled up by the fire, reading, doing puzzles, eating lots of food, 
enjoying Christmas and taking the week off from blogging.

This blog has led to some of my biggest blessings in 2013.
I've met some of the most amazing people.
I've been encouraged and helped so much by your support and comments.

It's been about the connections from the very start.
Thank you so very much for connecting with me!

Merry Christmas.
Many blessing to you and yours in the New Year.
