Quello che ho visto \u00e8 stato adorabile. Solo che qualcuno ha avuto la brillante idea di attraversare una superstrada proprio dietro la Cattedrale di San Martino. C&#8217;\u00e8 un pezzo di citt\u00e0 dall&#8217;altra parte della superstrada che non ho visto perch\u00e9 &#8230; beh, era dall&#8217;altra parte della superstrada. Guardando su una mappa, il castello \u00e8 l\u00ec su una roccia e la superstrada si collega a un ponte, quindi immagino che se costruirai una superstrada, \u00e8 l\u00ec che deve andare, ma \u00e8 anche un peccato.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"it-IT\">Anche guardando su una mappa, ci sono parti di Centrum che scendono verso il Danubio. Gli edifici governativi per la Slovacchia sono da qualche parte a Centrum, ma non sono riuscito a identificarne nessuno. Forse sono pi\u00f9 vicini al Danubio.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"it-IT\">Mi sono fermato a pranzo in un posto che sembrava servito messicano e ho ordinato la paella di pollo. Era enorme e senza molto sapore, e (avvisato) impieg\u00f2 mezz&#8217;ora per prepararsi. L&#8217;energia ha iniziato a calare, c&#8217;erano folle, quindi l&#8217;ho rimandata a casa.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"it-IT\">Ma ho alcune foto e, poich\u00e9 ognuna vale pi\u00f9 di mille parole, sono gi\u00e0 oltre il mio limite.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"it-IT\"><a href=\"http:\/\/davidzarko.us\/WP\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/IMG_5132.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1045\" src=\"http:\/\/davidzarko.us\/WP\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/IMG_5132-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"http:\/\/davidzarko.us\/WP\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/IMG_5132-300x225.jpg 300w, http:\/\/davidzarko.us\/WP\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/IMG_5132-768x576.jpg 768w, http:\/\/davidzarko.us\/WP\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/IMG_5132-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So, Centrum.
