Our walking tour of the old town of Bratislava continued.
Spreading your arms wide open is like fully embracing the experience, the place, the sun, wind and air. Embracing life itself. It’s a gesture to show your gratefulness and appreciation of what life is giving you.
Street art on the wall of a highway
Tourists were excited to buy souvenirs. My excitement was hampered after discovering that most items were from China.
Make sure that all magnets on your refrigerator are from places you have actually visited or else they don’t have any relevance to you. Pangkalat lang.
We walked to the cluster of old buildings in the old town, thru alleys and cobbled stone streets.
There were writings on the wall.
Bibiana
No antique shop can escape my curiousity.
They did have a few antique ceramic plates but I didn’t have ample time to look at them one by one to see if there’s something that would interest me.
I wanted to drink a soda or hot chocolate at this quaint cafe facing a small garden. It’s owned by two ladies who were seated there.
I wanted to make istambay here at Cafe Laura. I couldn’tbecause I was with a tour group, we had to keep on walking.
Kristal store
Another case of wanting to go inside the store but no time.
Our walking tour was already tiring my legs and feet.
It’s way past lunch time and I was already very tired.
I love what you said about posing with your arms wide open like that. It’s true – scientific, even. That certain stances boost your mood and energy. It’s a triumphant one – similar to what you would do when you Yehey! or Woohoo! or win a game or what some Christians do (raise their hands) to workship. Have you seen this short Ted Talk by Amy Cuddy, a social scientist, about body language? It’s fascinating. https://www.ted.com/talks/amy_cuddy_your_body_language_shapes_who_you_are?language=en
I visited Bratislava for lunch too. On a Prague – Vienna – Budapest trip. I wonder if anyone really stays there or if it’s a meal break for most tourists.
