... with her!!), we grabbed some cold beers and headed up to the main castle and climbed the old city walls to watch the sunset descend upon the city this was followed up by a gluttonouse meal of pickled camembert, pork medallions in batter (sounds better than you think!!) potato pancakes with veal and leak stew and some vegetables in amongst a mound of crushed garlic...<br>

... It is reallly pretty.<br><br>In Bratislava, everything so far seems to be quite close. I have not done much - just walked from bus staition to hostel (pretty good hostel, it seems this far), but i walked instead of recommended taking bus - and it was only a few minutes.<br><br>Since the guide says that Bratislava does not have much sightseeing, and ...

... which was our main purpose for going to the store (HINT, HINT, HINT). That pretty much ended our exploration for the day, since Erin had a backpack full of root beer and we had class later in the evening. After class we went out with some of the local students. The only bar that is open near where we live is across the street and is SUPER sketchy. We've ...

this wasn't on my original plan of places to visit, but being so close i couldn't pass up the oppurtunity to see another country... being that it at one point was one country with czech, and i loved czech so much, i thought i would see some similarities, but that isnt the case... its a beautiful city, but not a whole lot to do.. its quite a small city, well ...

... area. It was very run down. Most of what we saw of Slovakia was green hills, different types of trees, small rivers and a few houses made of wood. We stopped at a McDonald's for lunch and were told not to get hamburgers since it could not be known how long they were out. She said it was fine to get fries and other things, just not meat. I opted for fries, coke and ice cream. They accepted euros but in ...

... Integration class was pretty much a joke because we met for 20 minutes and then left. The class is going to be very easy in that 70% of our grade is a 15 page group paper (up to 4 kids per group!) that we have to write and present. The other 30% is a final Exam. The Foreign Exchange Risk class seems a bit harder and involves a lot of Finance. The class met for about 2 ½ hours and we mainly covered the different exchange rates and the risk in trading different ...

Got up and packed and gathered all our various belongings which had become scattered around the room, before leaving to eat some breakfast in the park. Said goodbye to the German people who were staying in the flat with us. We thought it was 2 couples of boyfriend/girlfriend, but we later realised that it was 2 gay/lesbian couples. They were nice enough, and were interested in what we were doing. had some bread and jam in the park and hung around there for a ...

The day trip to Bratislava was worth the effort. It really was a neat city to see... i equate it to be like Prague before the tourism. While it may be fun to bum around in and meet some locals... it wasnt worth more than a day for the causal visitor. It was a beautiful city though, and had a small town atmosphere (with a pop of 500k... small relative to the other capitals i've been to!)

... carry all sorts of debris. Today was devoted to making progress in a south east direction. The route as very quiet and pleasant. First challenge was Herlian Sedlo, a 660m pass with a delightful descent into the town of 'Vranov nad Toplou'. Then south over flat ground through Trebisov to a campsite near a town on the Sovakia / Hungary border called Satoraljaujhely, just don't ask me how to pronounce it! As I was the only ...
