Jan 1: Vienna/Bratislava

I am sure it did not party too much last night. However, I did not get up until 10 am.

There were shuttle busses into town during the morning.

After lunch, the first set of buses set off for Bratislava at 1:30pm. These covered Bratisalva sight-seeing only and Bratislava sight-seeing plus dinner and New Year Day's Concert. We took the 3:30pm bus for Bratislava covering dinner and New Year Day's Concert.

It was very cold and foggy throughout the trip. Bratislava was all white when we arrived.

Arrived at the Sheraton in Bratislava at about 4:40pm. Dinner was a buffet style at the restaurant at the Sheraton from 5pm after the other bus doing the sightseeing arrived. Wine, water and soft drinks were included. The Tiramisu for dessert was particularly nice.

An 6:15pm, we headed off the Slovenská Filharmónia. Doors were opened on the dot of 6:30pm
