„One of the big surprises of my travels this summer has been Bratislava, the capital of Slovakia. I spent a day visiting Bratislava
with Martin Sloboda, a local tycoon of a guide. He writes the town's dominant guidebook, shoots the photos for postcards, organizes the
visits of the luxurious Tauck tour groups when their Danube cruise ships dock in town, and is the local tourist board's choice for an
escort when a VIP visits. He's a fine example of the youthful energy and leadership responsible for the success story of Slovakia.“
