Photographs from Slovakia

As promised here are some photos from Trnava.  They are not brilliant quality as they were taken on my iphone but hopefully they give you a flavour of my new home and surrounds.




 This is the view from the balcony.  I live in an identical block except mine is orange not yellow!
Two views of my bedroom - my personal space

 The kitchen/diner

 Three views of the living room



This weekend there was an annual street fair in Trnava celebrating the history of the town.  It seemed to have feature a period resembling the Norman times in the UK.  There were many people dressed in costume selling crafts that they were making at the fair.  In the evening there was a re-enactment of the defence of the walls of Trnava which have been restored and surround much of the town.  It was a really amazing site and felt both familiarly English and yet very Slovakian at the same time.

 I climed the clock tower - 140+ steps.  These are the views from the top.
