It was a matter of confidence till Saturday 13th December 2008 when I packed the camera and started exploring “Bratislava”. Left the hotel around 08:45 am and took the route from where the last night taxi driver brought us to the hotel. It’s the shortest route to reach to city center. City center is the old charm of Bratislava with Churches, old style houses, food corners and offcourse tram paths. I was right on the track when my mischievous mind saw the hills on the right and guess what? - Hills were calling me as they do always. In the beginning they seemed to be around 10-20 kms away from the city but who’s going to worry about the kilometers. For my soul, their calls are more important then thoughts. I rushed towards them.

Bratislava, 17-11-2007. With these lads from Down Under gone it looks like I will have the dorm all to myself tonight. Tomorrow will be leaving time for me, Budapest will be my next goal! After my McDonalds breakfast in the old town i finally walked up to the castle. Built on a hill, the castle - if you can call it that - dominates the city with breath taking views in all directions. Unlike my aussie friends who returned to the dorm each night well after three o'clock in the morning, I have not done much bar crawling but that does not disturb me much. Maybe I will visit some bars in Budapest. ... read more
