An epic trip to major sporting events throughout Europe & the USA

Day 49: Bratislava

Today was exploring the Old Town on a walking tour led by the fun and informative Sebastian. The city council wanted to attract more tourists so they started adding interesting human sculptures around town.

There was some nice buildings as well. Bratislava is only 65kms from Vienna but the effect of 40 years behind the Iron Curtain makes them chalk and cheese in terms of development and wealth.

The rest of the day was watching sport with the Wimbledon final (great win to Alcaraz), Tour de France (great win for Tadej) and then the Euros final at a pub (business as usual with England losing another final).

This day in sporting history (14 July)
