Rode in to Bratislava at 4.30pm. Started at 8.40am and soon Gabcikovo Dam was in sight. The Dam built across the Dunav to generate electricity, there is a step of concrete wall about 50 m high to block the water on one side of the river. In order for the ship to pass, the ship has to enter a chamber where the water will be raised to the same level with the higher side to continue the journey. There is a beautiful bike and roller skating lane all the way to Bratislava which is higher than the side road, but unfortunately the headwind is too strong for me to go on the bike lane,so I cycled on the lower road. Many people young and old biking or roller skating on this bike lane, a very relax atmosphere away from the city dust and carbon monoxide. Checked at the tourist information centre , and stayed in the Patio Hostel for 480 skk with internet but can not upload photos. Too tired to see anything in town and my stomach was feeling unhappy, really need a good rest!

Meng,
How is your tummy? Hope you're alright. U r so skinny, make sure you eat enough carbo before each ride n replenish with protein at end of the ride. We are celebrating Hari Raya this weekend. Open house in PWTC by Pak Lah..satay, ketupat, rendang.. i hear some people bring plastic bags to ta-pau.. When you come back lets go to buffet.. eat all you can!I'll be going to Melbourne in Nov (my touring bike is there) n i might fly my bike to sydney n tour around. Lets see, i dont know whether can see more running or biking in the city. Good luck! Take care. Pauline
Thanks Pauline, enjoy your ride in Sydney
