only picture i took i bratislava
only picture i took of bratislava its ofoutside the hostel window Got to Bratislava late at night no idea which way to go to get to the hostel.. then i met and american dude that was on the same bus who had no idea where to go either so we wondered out to the road then stood at the corner with our crappy map lookin like stupid tourists.. then a local asked if we were ok and pointed us in the right direction.. at this point the locals seemed cool but the city didnt.. after wonderin around takin a few wrong turns we found the hostel.. wasnt the best hostel no curtains and poorly made beds and not the best staff ,but it did.. after arrivin at the hostel me and the american peter went out to a bar the girl from the hostel reccomended.. it was nilly empty becuse it was mid week after a few beers there we went to find another one.. it was half decent but kinda empty there aswell after couple more beers there we left and went back to the hostel and slept..
the next day me and peter wondered around the city most of the city was bein dug up and new roads and stuff were eventually goin to be put in it looked like they were goin no where... also there is was no health and safety laws here you were simply allowed to walk straight through the construction area amongts the tractors and watnot... afer walkin around to the castel and seein all the main sights such as the castle, that wasnt that great except for all the weapons and stuff it had in the inside.. after doin touristy stuff we went back to the hostel to chill for a bit.. where we met 2 american girls, who we went to a bar with after a few beers a group of english rugby players came in dressed as pirates... one came over and started talkin to us he was ok but then slowly the rest of the group of about 10 came over and decided to drink with us, then they found out it was one of the girls 21st birthday so they all decided to surround us and get completely naked and sing songs.. one such song was "you spin me right round baby right round like a record baby....." it which they swang there wangs around.. there was no way to escape so i just looked into my beer and drank it until finally the police came and threw them all out and us aswell.. after that episode i decided it was time to go cry myself to sleep in my bed..
the next day we went and found the big war memorial we could see from the castel it took forever to get there but we made it and it was worth more then the effort then gettin to the castel.. the winding roads up to the castel had all rich people houses we wondered how rich theyd actually be and if we could buy one of the houses with our money and then become slovaks...after that it was back to the hostel visit our favoutrite kebab man who thought everythin was "super" and got our kebabs then began to drink vodka and orange juice.. met a canadian lad at the hostel next thing where out at a bar drinkin beers then we decided to find a club , we went back to the hostel and asked about them, they sent us to one on the river where we met some slovakian chicks who were goin to the same place.. spent the night drinkin and partyin with them later in the night none of us new where jesse went.. we waited but after a while he didnt come back so we left.. after that i tryed to find my way back to the hostel.. even tho i was drunk i used my brains and thought if i followed the tram tracks id would lead to the hostel... makin my way back was weird the hole city was dead not one person or car out on the street..
the next day me and Peter went to the train station to go to Budapest .. hangin round the trainstation was fne until got a 15euro fine from the police for smoking on the platform which was outside and there was no no smoking signs...all because the stupid train was delayed 1 hour..
after the hour of waiting around we got on our train to budapest
bratislava was ok still ungoin alot of renovations and stuff when i was there itll be priddy cool in a few years when its finished.. slovakians are some of the nicest people ya can meet..
the reson why there is only one pictures.....ran out of batteries and didnt look for new ones
