Blogs from Bratislava Region, Slovakia, Europe - page 6

The bus tour of Bratislava was scheduled for the afternoon, and me not feeling the fittest (Carole says she was feeling fine). :-) However, lunch improved my outlook considerably, so we decided at the last minute to go on the bus, both of us as it happens forgetting in the rush to take any money. A very exhuberant and very pregnant guide gave us a terrific up-hill-and-down-dale tour. At the Russian soldiers' monument she commented wryly that they (the Russians) did after all rescue Slovakia from the Nazis, it was just a pity that they stayed so long afterwards! In the middle of the walking part of the tour loud sirens suddenly approached, and a fire engine screeched to a halt at the end of the narrow street we were in. Half a dozen burly fireman ... read more

Andrew here, reporting on behalf of the wanderers... incoming message reads "Lousy internet connection today in Bratislava. Will try again in tomorrow in Vienna." Though not explicitly stated, I suspect we can assume that Carole says she's fine...... read more

Tak a je to opat tu. Konecne sa zasa na dlhsi cas niekam presuvam. Azbuku som sa jaksi trochu naucil, na rustine som skoncil na prvej lekcii, verim,ze s dorozumievanim nebude ziadny velky problem. Byvat budem nakoniec 2x v hosteli (varsava a brest) a raz v stane (belovezsky park), ostatne ubytka mam zabezpecene cez couchsurfing. Hadam ludia budu v pohode. Bohuzial sa mi nepodarilo nikoho zohnat vo varsave na prvy den, bo akurat ked tam budem maju dlhy vikend (sviatok 1. a 3. maja), takze skoro vsetci su mimo mesto. Hostel co som si zarezervoval je blizko disco, bude to tam teda velmi zaujimave. Batoh mi vazi 8kg. 3 tricka s kratkym rukavom, 3 trenky, 4 ponozky, nohavice , mikina, bunda, dres, kniha a nabijacky + neake to jedlo na cestu. Smola sa na mna prilepila ... read more

We took a bus to Bratislava and was met by a friend who stays there. She brought us to Bratislava Castle to admire the view of the city. On the way, we saw many graffitis adorning the walls of highways. These beautiful form of expressions looked more like art than acts of vandalisms. We made our way back to the town centre and walked past the opera house. It started to drizzle so we decided to join my friend's friends in a cute cafe/bookshop. As usual, dessert was amazing. We chilled there for a while before going to a burger shop (as stated below it's name - since 2013). They only served 2 different burgers: veggie or non veggie. Unexpectedly (come on, 'since 2013' isn't really convincing me of its reputation) the burger was yummy. We ... read more
