Michalska Brana Bratislava

... There was a statue of a man coming out of a sewer and a few other odd ones that were fun to run into.

After all the sightseeing we went back to the hostel and joined the party downstairs where a large group of Budapest students were enjoying a few drinks. This group had come to Bratislava for the weekend and it was fun getting to know them all since most of them were exchange students from America, Finland and Belgium. Everyone had a cool story as to why ...

... the little device to do it's job again and point me to Mamaison - Residence Sulekova. But navigating the streets in Bratislava is relatively easy and traffic never really heavy, it seemed.
The hotel has a nice secure parking lot and is set a little up a hill providing nice views over the old town. The rooms are very spacious and tastefully (modern) furnished. They do serve breakfast but ...

... tickets which we bought from him. After a few minutes the number 28 bus arrived, and we got on. It was a double-length articulated bus but there was still only standing room. However, the bus ride was very fast and before long we were back in Bratislava. We walked up to the Hrad, where the craft fair was in its last hour. We perused the booths and finally decided to buy a handmade ornamental ceramic plate for 450 SK. (Not too big, we would still have to carry it ...

... evening I spent with her, I heard about every man she had ever dated and/or slept with in great detail. It was way more information than I ever wanted to know about her. I also heard about her father's problems with alcoholism and how she doesn't get along with her mother very well. She didn't ask even one question about me. To this day she still doesn't know any more about me than what is in my ...

Niektore veci naozaj potrebuju vela pripravy. No teda aspon to je moja teoria a skusenost. Pretoze ked som pripraveny, vsetko ide tak akosi lahko a este mi aj osud do cesty prenesie rozne skvele prekvapenia, ktore zlepsia cely zazitok. Na tento vylet som sa pripravoval od jula 2005. Teda presne dva roky. Vtedy som si vysnival, ze sem v roku 2007 pridem aj so Stankou - iked v tej dobe sme sa spolu videli asi len 3 krat rozpravali dohromady ...

... way the aisle would clear out first and no one would have to try to make it past the 50 people standing in it to get off the bus. My new buddy made sure I was on the bus and then waited for his town to be called. Once in Bratislava, I arrived at the hostel just as everyone in my room was looking to head out for dinner. We went to a pub style restaurant and then in search of a free table outside somewhere. Didn't find that, but we did find ...

... to go hiking in the outskirt of town. I was craving for dirt path (instead of cobbled street), greenery (instead of red roofs and statues) and solitude (to get away from the tourists). The hike was refreshing. I spent a couple of hours going to the old town in the morning of my departure to take pictures - just for your enjoyment!

... massive courtyards, and then strolled through the Old Town, up through the square, meandering through every side street and taking in each sight, and by early afternoon I had seen everything. The old town is beautiful, and it certainly has charm, but there's only so much to it, so as much as I liked it, I could see why people would not enjoy the city. To pass the time, to be honest, I spent a good chunk of the day watching the beach volleyball tournament in town ...

... the clerk at the Tesco store in Bratislava looked at me funny when I bought my TP, giving me a look that I translated as "I haven't sold a package of that overpriced stuff in months, but I will take your coddled American money because apparently you want to wipe your Imperialist, Bush-loving, ass with dollar bills." Actually, they like Americans here, they just don't have any respect for the consequences to my ass of their delicious, cheap (less than $1.00 for some pints) beer.

... how much would I get for my wife?". When we left, he refused payment for the coffees and beer. Genuine Slovak hospitality again, we really had been invited into his home. www.vilabobrik.sk Once we found out it was Saturday and not Friday as we thought, shopping for provisions became top of the list of priorities. On we continued through two towns before hitting the main reason we came this way, a quiet route that takes us 50Km ...
