In this case…it was a bust.

We attempted to see Bratislava’s castle, but this is as close as we got…

…because of this.

Oh well, it wouldn’t be the first time our canine companion was banned from touring a palace.

After seeing a few other sites, we decided to take advantage of the perfect weather with a picnic lunch. We headed to the largest “green” area on the map and figured there would be plenty of places to spread out our rations. Nope…no dogs allowed! Humans weren’t even allowed on the grass in this park. Isn’t that a defining characteristic of a park?!

We still managed to fritter away the entire day in Slovakia, even if Crazy Pants tried to ruin the fun.  You can’t win ‘em all.
