Set Bratislava

... considering how many different types of people were in there. It sells a lot of traditional Slovak food and beer for stupidly cheap prices, especially since Bratislava isn't considered cheap. A full meal and a few beers cost less than £5. The shots of liquor here are 50ml, twice the standard of the UK, and about a third of the price. <br><br>Naturally, we take full advantage of this - it's Helen's birthday, afterall.

I arrive in Bratislava around 7pm with no clue about the city. I arrive to find that the train station isn't very centrally located, and there is no information or maps at the station. I decide to just hop on the bus that everyone went on. I didn't even buy a ticket because I didn't know where, and if they were using the euro or what. I get off where everyone else gets off, which looked like the city center, and start walking down the street. I had a few hostels written down but ...

... its doorstep. This afternoon we spent over three hours exploring "Mestske lesy", one of Bratislava's city forests. It was literally five minutes drive from our hostel, which itself is only 15 minutes walk from the centre of the old town. On our walk we discovered an old chair-lift, probably used for servicing a nearby ski field in the 60's, but now rusting away. We also found the remains of some old saw mills ...

... a planejar todo o roteiro e dar a cara para bater na estrada. Mas pessoas que sempre viajam em grupos tem, para mim, uma certa aura de portadores de problemas de convivência social. Não acredito que seja normal as pessoas fazerem todos os tipos de atividades com os mesmos conhecidos de sempre. E foi este tipo de pessoa que encontrei no Patio Hostel. Pessoas que não estavam dispostas a trocar mais do que um "oi" ou "boa tarde" comigo. Bom, nem tudo ...

... of it after that. The lightning gets intense for a moment, and then dies away as well. Finally, maybe 30-45 minutes later, we are allowed off the plane. Upon coming inside the airport, however, we are informed that there was a tornado warning broadcasted inside the airport, and that everyone was told to stay away from the windows in case they were to blow out. BUT WHAT ...

... including the entire conflict between Hesballah and Israel. Luckily she goes to school in Tel Aviv, which is in the southern part of Israel, out of range of the missiles. She did do some traveling during the war though to spend Shabbat with some family members, and saw a missile come down pretty close to where she was. She didn't seem to scared by all of this! Libbie flew from Israel to Vienna last week to stay with Eric and also some other friends from Vienna. I ...

... the birds were going to feature for quite a while, we got fed up and went home. We toyed with the idea of going to the Slovakian league football match that was starting just next to the campsite, but the poor weather ixnayed that idea. We were fortunate enough to have the best seat in the house for the fireworks show though. Looking up from our campsite to the castle, with fireworks going off all around the tower, was like being at Disneyland, it was really cool.

... castle more a big house thing with a museum.. but we still went in for a look. I haven't been feeling the best for the past few days and going out has wiped me out so we headed back to the hostel for me to try and sleep of whatever this is and hopefully I will feel a little better after that. So on that note our adventure to date in Slovakia ends. Hope all is well in Oz with everyone. Take Care till next time. Love The Borowickis
