Hello again mom’s friends who I don’t really know. I’m back and this time to write about a little town in Austria called Mödling and the Slovakian capital Bratislava.

Bratislava (for it’s history click HERE) borders Austria and Hungary which makes it the only national capital that borders two independent countries. I visited two country capitals this year on my trip.

This is the Bratislava castle or Hrad in Slovakia:

Next to the Bratislava city walls:

I saw this martyr’s glass and gold coffin in a small church, it is the body of St. Reparat, he died as a Christian martyr in 353 and was buried in Rome, in 1769 his remains were exhumed and moved to Bratislava where he remains in the Franciscan Church:

Creepy!!!!!

If you look in the left corner that’s what I ate in Bratislava. It was a restaurant that specialized in Slovakian food I ate a sort of curry sauce with chicken and homemade noodles.

Biggest church in Bratislava is St. Stephens, it had a crypt where there was a coffin from 817:

A nice gothic church:

Bratislava was pretty run down in some places but it was still interesting to look at. At least I think so:

Now it’s time for Mödling, which is outside Wien, where we visited Burg Liechtenstein (Castle Liechtenstein).

And we visited “Seegrotte” which is the name of the largest underground lake in Europe and the site of a gypsum mine.

Castle Liechtenstein was literally in the middle of nowhere. There was only me and about seven other people.

It was definitely one of the coolest castles ever. Meet my new favorite castle:

We got to take a boat in the underground lake! I’ve never done something like that before 🙂

I saw so much more on all my trips. Maybe my mom will write another one. I have to go to school soon and can’t wait to tell my friends about everything I saw this summer.
And again like my mom says “Tschüss”.
