Bojnice

Road trip to Bojnice with my cousin Natalia and my Godmother Gizka. We laughed for two days straight. My godmother is so positive at 83 years old and can recite history and knows everything about our humongous family. Natka and I went to the castle where they were celebrating the festival of ghosts and we were entertained by a theatrical performance of castle history and witchcraft in medieval times. The castle is the most visited in Slovakia and looks like Disneyland castle. The castle sits on a crater and was built in 1113. Walking from the castle you can reach the thermal spas which are deluxe and well known throughout Slovakia. Met new cousins Janka and Marienka who are older than me because my uncle was older than my mother and had ten children. Cold winters in central Slovakia back then. Our visit was full of laughter and rich with family history. Thanks to my godmother for arranging this visit. My cousin Marienka has a brewery and invited us to come stay with her. Looking forward to our next visit.Read more
