- ah ... oj! -
a hoy! - vola stary anglicky lodivod na posadku hlavnej paluby (1751)
ahoy-hoy! - prihovara sa Alexander Graham Bell svojmu vynalezu (1876)
ahoy! - zdravi britsky general na ostrove Brownsea svojich chlapcov (1907)
ahoj! - znie nezvycajny skautsky pozdrav vinohradmi nad mestom (1930)
Cesta mnohych slov napriec svetom a casom vie byt pozoruhodna. Tak sa aj stare namornicke zvolanie dokaze dostat do nazvu (1945) vinohradnickeho zahonu pod lesom, niekde v malej krajinke predaleko od mora. Ahojka je prijemna lokalita na kratky vybeh do prirody po praci, len tak nalahko, na bicykli, v bezeckych teniskach, so psom ... trosku do kopca, ale na Kamzik je to uz na skok. Naskyta sa nam krasny vyhlad na mesto, tak sa nemozno cudovat, ze tu najnovsie pribudol pristresok a tabulka s popiskami, co vsetko mozno vidiet.
A vidiet to treba, kym ... Najlepsi cas na odlov kesky je podvecer, pred zapadom slnka.

Quick and easy drive-in cache with nice view over an eastern parts of Bratislava. This area of former vineyards (turning slowly to local "Beverly Hills" now) is called poetically Ahoj - and it is remarkable to track a voyage of this word thru places and time:
a hoy! - shouts old english seaman to his main-top crew (1751)
ahoy-hoy! - talks Alexander Graham Bell to his newest invention (1876)
ahoy! - greets british lieutenant general on Brownsea island his boys' brigade (1907)
ahoj! - sounds unusual greeting of early slovak scouts from the vineyards (1930)
Ahoj, in Czech and Slovak, is now commonly used informal greeting, comparable to "Hello". It was borrowed from English, and gained wide currency by the 1930s.
Cache will show you kind of bittersweet place, best to visit right before sunset.
