Je zima,“ sťažovala sa.En: “Marek, can we move on? It’s cold,” she complained.Sk: „Ešte chvíľu, Ivana. Musím mať fotografiu tej veže,“ odpovedal Marek a sústredil sa na nastavovanie svojho fotoaparátu.En: "Just a little longer, Ivana. I need a photo of that tower," Marek replied, concentrating on adjusting his camera.Sk: Lukáš zatiaľ nedával pozor.En: Meanwhile, Lukáš wasn't paying attention.Sk: Zaujímalo ho všetko, čo videl. Najmä však svoju pozornosť venoval malým zapadnutým kútikom, ktoré vyzerali záhadne.En: He was interested in everything he saw, especially focusing on the small hidden corners that looked mysterious.Sk: „Poďme tam, tam to vyzerá zaujímavo!“ ozval sa a ukázal smerom k bočnému nádvoru.En: "Let's go there; that looks interesting!" he called out, pointing towards a side courtyard.Sk: „Lukáš, počkaj. Musíme sa držať pri sebe,“ volal za ním Marek, ale Lukáš už bol na ceste.En: “Lukáš, wait. We need to stick together,” Marek called after him, but Lukáš was already on his way.Sk: Chvíľu sa zdalo, že stratili Lukáša z dohľadu.En: For a moment, it seemed they had lost sight of Lukáš.Sk: Ivana znepokojene dúfala, že sa Lukáš rýchlo vráti.En: Ivana worriedly hoped that Lukáš would quickly return.Sk: Po chvíli sa ozval jeho hlas zhora, „Poďte sem, musíte to vidieť!“En: After a while, his voice came from above, “Come here, you must see this!”Sk: Lukáš stál na balkóne, odkiaľ bol nádherný výhľad na celé mesto pokryté srieňou.En: Lukáš was standing on a balcony with a stunning view of the entire city covered in frost.Sk: Panorama Bratislavy pod bielim príklopom bola čarovná.En: The panorama of Bratislava under a white blanket was magical.Sk: Marek rýchlo zamieril svoj fotoaparát a zachytil ten okamih.En: Marek quickly aimed his camera and captured the moment.Sk: Po tejto malej odbočke sa všetci vybrali do neďalekej kaviarne.En: After this little detour, they all headed to a nearby cafe.Sk: S horúcou čokoládou v rukách sa smiali nad Lukášovým dobrodružstvom.En: With hot chocolate in hand, they laughed about Lukáš's adventure.Sk: Marek si uvedomil, že niekedy je lepšie nechať sa unášať prúdom udalostí, než strikne dodržiavať plán.En: Marek realized that sometimes it’s better to go with the flow of events than to strictly follow a plan.Sk: Tak deň na Bratislavskom hrade skončil teplom a smiechom, pričom sneh za oknami stále ticho padal.En: Thus, a day at Bratislavský Castle ended in warmth and laughter, while the snow outside the windows continued to fall silently.
