mama, next chapter + swimming in the danube river, SK

i could visit my mother and my youngest brother's family in bratislava (SK) in september as the corona-measures were fine at that time ... the stupid masks were mandatory 'only' in shops and public transport  ... today (november), they have a mandatory corona tests in slovakia or you cannot leave your flat for few weeks except the nearest grocery store ... 

will they do the same procedure with the corona vaccination as well? who knows?

on caffeine , mother + me

even if i was there only for a weekend, we have spent a really nice time all together. the highlight for me was the visit in bratislava's waterworks areal (children playgrounds, museum, community gardening) at the danube river AND the swimming in one tributary stream of the danube river 😃.
 
enjoy few pictures:

to be honest, i haven't seen any of these animals today
what about swimming in this tributary stream of the danube river?
even if the water was quite shallow, the stream was really strong.
you couldn't swim against the stream ... it is in real life difficult as well, isn't it?
good-bye 'blue' danube / donau / dunaj 💙
 
a short break on my way back home to munich at the lake neusiedler see ~ austria, AT
northern part of the lake neusiedler see
i would not recommend this lake for swimming, my dears. why not?
it is much, much, much too shallow. 
even 50m away from lakeside is it not deep enough ...
i have a father, too ... thanks goodness, he is still healthy enough 😉

passau ~ the 3 rivers city in bavaria

enjoy few impressions from the medieval city of passau in lower bavaria (niederbayern) with its 3 big rivers danube, inn and ilz.
view over the inn river to the city center

and yes, if you know, why is the mutual stream after conjunction called danube and not inn even if inn is twice as wide and its water color dominates the mutual stream for a kilometer or two, please tell me. will you? my guess is that danube is deeper or better known in germany than the basically austrian river inn, but it is just a embarrassing trial to explain something i can't really believe ...
addendum, july 2020: here we go, inn is at passau really bigger than danube, wikipedia says 😂
800 years of fortress oberhaus (festung veste oberhaus)
oberhaus + niederhaus (fort niederhaus)
