ice-hockey in bratislava, slovakia, SK

a short visit to bratislava, slovakia, SK during carnival break => time to see my family again 😊

igor liba, one of the best CSSR czechoslovak ice-hockey players in the 1980ies. he

played in my home town kosice (kassa/kaschau), so i've seen him live once a week.

this visit was completely in the sign of ice-hockey, as my youngest brother's son plays in the slovan bratislava club in the youngest children category ... well, i've enjoyed not also the funny training the young kids have, but also to see the photographs of former star players in the hall of fame of slovak ice-hockey ...

could you find my nephew? haha, look for #93 oli aka oliver 😄

the few other activities were to walk in a forest at the pilgrims' place marianka close to stupava (city i've seen last time in SK) + the visit in the music + arts cafe scherz ...

entry to a mine from 16th century for some special black + soft + flat stones,

all saints in SK

as almost every year, i spent the all saints holidays in slovakia. this year, for the very 1st time, there is my mother's final place at the cemetery (called totengarten by the locals) in her home village, einsiedel, too. rest in peace, dear mother ...

to show a grave is probably not the best entry for this blog post, so lets start with the youngest class of ice-hockey youth in bratislava, will we?

well, after i've crossed the austrian border in kittsee, my stops in slovakia were: 

• bratislava
• ice-hockey 🏒 
• stupava - i've had quite a lot time to enjoy this small city close to bratislava as i've visited an old school mate and a good friend over there
• einsiedel an der göllnitz (mnisek nad hnilcom)
• banska bystrica (neusohl)
• nitra - no sightseeing this time, just pick-up stop on my journey
• bratislava again
• ice-hockey 🏒 

i've enjoyed the chance to work online from stupava, bratislava + einsiedel and to meet friends & family in the evenings.
