I was lying...One last post - July 20

K, just one last post before I definitively put this trip to bed. Upon checking into my pension on what appeared to be a sleepy Sunday in Bratislava, the place suddenly sprang to life around 10 pm with heavy traffic speeding by until the wee hours. One would have thought my pension had front row seats to a Nascar race.

Also in the process of airing out the room, the open windows had attracted all manner of flying creepy crawlies. While I managed to dispatch most of them, a few gi-frikkin-normous flying beetles were well versed in the art of concealment and kept a lo pro until lights-out. Thus the night-time Nascar rumblings were punctuated by the occasional scream of "GET THE F--- OFF MEEEEEEE!!!" as one of the beasts would alight on my cheek. What my neighbours must have thought of these outbursts, I can only imagine...
