Dukla Bratislava Hotel

... 8221; attractions although nice aren’t the most fabulous after seeing Cathedrals in Paris and Barcelona and castles like Mont St Michel…okay so maybe we are getting a little spoiled…but the walk was nice and the views of the city from the top of the castle were very picturesque. We ended up seeing all the sites in a few hours. One of the fun things about the city is their very random statues placed in very random places throughout the downtown ...

Slovakians in general are a young and hot people...or so we concluded after 24 hours in the country. We spent a single night in Bratislava...in a run-down Slovakian university dorm...but that didn't stop us from enjoying our time there.

The old town ...

... a quirky little place though full of unexpected delights like the quiet park directly behind the Presidents palace - guarded day and night by sunglasses wielding sentries and the series of statues posed in the city streets - my favourite is the snapper - a paperazzi sneaking around a street corner camera at the ready. We got in to the weird and wacky Hotel Spirit yesterday after rolling through the Bohemian and Moravian hinterlands joined in the latter stages of our travels ...

... we had some great walks about the city, day and night, was sad to go though in reality sleeping on the floor wasn't the best for me, as the room only had one double bed in it, and it wasn't sitting on a very strong bed base as it was, so I put my half of the matress on the floor. But for the cost of 50 euro for the both of us we couldn't really complain.

... we were everywhere in Bratislava) we jumped on a tram to the river and a cold, wet walk to Bratislava Castle in the now heavy snow. After about 3 hours of heavy snowfall we headed back to the hostel and to the train station for a one hour train to Vienna. Our tickets to Vienna only cost us about £10 each but about 2 mins before the train was ready to leave Clinto sat down shaking his head. To add to ...

Hey Everyone!! Here are some new pictures and stories to go with them... The first ones are from the ride out to the countryside, and to a castle called Cermany Kamen. The story behind this castle was pretty cool...it is said that the family was riding home in their carriage one night and the horses were startled and took off. Suddenly, a deer jumped out in the ...

... Majka /co dodat-mam to rad :-))/. Viac ktomuto asi ani neni co dodat, stalo sa co sa chcelo stat... Takze, zatial co pani matka v utrobach letiska slzicku vreckovkou osusala, jej nehodny syn sa stratil v mrvenici vstupnej kontroly a vydal sa napospas lowcost prepravcu kuknut do sveta... ... :-) ...

... verfügbaren Betten in einem Hostel gekriegt. XXXXX Roadwork obstructed me on the way to Bratislava and guided me to wrong directions. Particular the only border crossing over the Danube River around 60km was closed without any detour. With a delay I arrived in Bratislava, the smallest Capital of Europe and just got one of the last available beds in a hostel.

... I'm not sure either of us would like to repeat in a hurry!!! It seemed to go forever, but we were not the only ones in the for the long haul.... Finally morning came and we could check in and board our flight to Slovakia of all places!!!! We arrived and after a few hiccups with money and the buses we set off into town to our hostel... once again a slight hiccup in getting lost and after about an hour of walking around ...

... breakfast was a good excuse to warm my hands on the stove. Hans was up and we waved him off on his bike with fishing rod in hand. We continued along the traffic free road through the Narodny national park. Covered with pine trees, rich in mushrooms and blueberries we passed a very pleasant 2 hours chatting en route and watching the scenery fly past. The villages dotted along the more accessible parts of the valley provided an ...
