Austrian small towns: Hainburg and Bruck an der Leitha

This is an article about the small austrian village around the border with Slovakia: Hainburg, Bruck an der Leitha, Parndorf, Kitsee or Prelen Kirchen. Since I live in the capital city of Slovakia, and since Bratislava is bordered with two countries: Austria and Hungary, it is very easy to visit the cities around and close to the border in both of them. In this article we will speak about my favorite Austrian citie and villages. The first city and one of the most visited by the people living in Bratislava is Hainburg. There is even a direct bus which goes every hour from Bratislava to Hinburg and back but the town can be accessed also via boat on the Danube fom the Devin vilage. Most of the people going there are going for shopping. However we learned also how beautiful the little town is and we enjoy walking through it or sipping quietly and peacefully a coffee in the maany and beautiful coffee places, sweets shops and ice-cream parlors.

Crete has been my dream for years and this year we were finally able to go there. Also our vacation this year was special because it was the first vacation with our child. Crete is the biggest greek island and one of the most beautiful. It has not only sea and beaches but also beautiful high mountains and large cities and ports. Our trip started as usual in the Bratislava airport, where we embarked for Crete. Our flight took us over the azzure greece sea, the sun sparkling on the water and here and there, like lost in the sea the beautiful greek islands. Just before we started the descent in Crete, the wonderful island of Santorini appeared just under our window in all its beauty. We arrived in the Nikos Kazanthakis airport in Heraklion at noon and there a bus was already waiting to take us to our hotel. The road to the hotel curved and took us along the sea and the mountains. The island is beautiful, full of mountains and valleys, beautiful beaches. The soil is a special pink
