Iron Curtain

It's been 20 years since the Iron Curtain fell in Slovakia, but the relics, scars, and impressions remain. Most of the time in Bratislava you wouldn't even think about it. It's been covered up with wealth, power, billboards, and the latest fashion trends. We are not Eastern Europe anymore, but CE (Central Europe). It's a bit of identity re-mix. Anyways, on a recent bike trip along the Morava river(near Devinsk Nova Ves) we came across a part of the famous curtain and an old bunker. This would have keep Slovaks from crossing the river into Austria. The guys enjoyed climbing all over (and in) the bunker. They still can't quite understand Communism and what it did here, but maybe that is best.
