Rainy rainy day today..! They were calling for thunderstorms in the afternoon so I figured I should get my walking done in the morning when it's only spitting rain. I climbed up to the Slavin Memorial (oh God so many steps) and of course as I got near the top it started to rain a lot harder. Not a thunderstorm though, so still in action. The memorial is for those Soviet soldiers who died helping to liberate Bratislava from the Nazis. It's mostly tombstones of Soviet soldiers. I found the 4 statues in each corner quite interesting - at one end you have two statues with girls dancing/celebrating(?) with banners, at the other end you have 2 soldiers and a boy - one side the boy looks sad, on the other side the boy and one ... read more

It was another checkout day today (they seem to come round so quick) so after brekkie we packed up, paid our debts and said goodbye to Steph and our Korean roomies (first and last words as they kept to themselves). Today we are leaving Vienna heading across to Bratislava for the day and then finally on to Budapest. With only a little bit of stress, (the journey took longer than expected) we tubed across to Wien HBF and caught the 1h train to Bratislava. Once we had struggled to dump our bags in the automated storage lockers at Bratislava station, due to the machines only taking coins and requiring a specific coinage, next up was struggling to get a city map, transport map, ticket for the correct zones and duration and most importantly, correct bus. This ... read more

Tak ako pred dvoma rokmi aj teraz musim pochvalit Bosnu. Jedlo stale lacne resp rovnake ceny ako u nas len vacsie porcie, ubytka v pohodicke, super ludia,pekne baby. MHD fungovala i ked zo 4 jazd, dva krat meskala viac ako 10.min. Taxi po meste maju byt udajne lacne (do 5KM), neskusal som. Taxi na/z letiska by mal stat max 10€ Zvlast musim vyzdvihnut chalanov zo Slanej Gardy resp komplet celu grupu Fukarov. Dostalo sa mi vreleho prijatia, i ked starsia generacia mala z opodialia blbe pripomienky ako jebat spartak. Fakt super chalani, hadam dojdu kuknut aj na nas spartak, teda ak sa situacia znormalizuje resp isto este niekedy musim navstivit ich dalsi zapas proti zrinsky mostar alebo pickam z horda zla. Z ubytka jednoznacne odporucam v Dubrave Dedic apartmans . Som sa tam citil ako doma, ... read more

I take an early train from Munich to Bratislava via Vienna. I have not ever been to Bratislava, and I was excited about the opportunity to explore somewhere new. When I arrive at the train station, I had to find the bus stop for bus 93 which would take me very near my hostel. After walking a few minutes, I realize I am on the wrong side of the road, so I hurry to the other side, purchase my bus ticket, and await for the bus to come. I was pretty excited when I saw the correct number of the bus coming my way. I enter the bus, validate my ticket, and off we go. As I only had to go to the second stop, the ride was very quick. I am glad, for I certainly ... read more

Par dni pred odjazdom mi vola zelo, ci suhlasim s listkom za branu. Nemam s tym ziadny problem. Neskor si uvedomujem, ze za mnou na podlazi budu hostujuci fans Juve. No nic, bude aspon veselo :) Je to tu, z roboty odchadzam o hodinku skor, doma chystam lepenaky + neaky sladky proviant. Pivo planujem nakupit az v tescu na lamaci, odkial mame planovany odchod o 22/00. V rychlosti kupujem cez net listok na bus do ba. Vyuzivam spolocnost arrivaexpres (predtym veolia,nitravel a ktovie ake nazvy to este malo). On line nakup (lacnejsie nez nakup u vodica) v pohode len ta ich stranka mi moc nepasuje, je to tam trochu zmatocne. Rozmyslam som nad nakupom spiatocneho listka ale ktovie kedy sa vlastne vratime. Jednosmerna cesta zo serede do ba cez net stoji 2€, obojsmerna 3€. Nasadam do ... read more
