This is somewhat less than perfect

I took this photo while I was traveling from Budapest, Hungary to Prague, the Czech Republic via Slovakia by train EC170. The train departed Budapest at 9:50 in the morning. I prepared a couple of cans of beer and a pack of crisps to make the most of my train journey. Then, it was about 20 minutes before the train arrived at Bratislava Main Railway Station in Slovakia, I was trying so hard to take some photos of beautiful Slovak landscape. I know that my photos from the train window were less than perfect, but I've became complacent. I mean I'm happy with what I have even if it's not good enough.

Travel around Central Europe by train

I've been to Prague, the Czech Republic from Budapest, Hungary via Slovakia by a train. I didn't think there were passport controls, but there were. On the train. First, Hungarian passport control officer came to my compartment and stamped on my passport. Next, Slovakian officer came to my compartment and stamped. After that, Czech officer stamped an original designed green stamp on my passport. Each stamps had a train's illustration to indicate crossing the borders by a train. I took this photo of a Slovakian flag and the Flag of Europe from the train window.
