a glimpse of Bratislava
Elisa, excited to begin our one and only (heavy) meal in Slovakia
Our last night in Vienna was memorable, as we met some fun people in our hostel bar and stayed up late hanging out with them and walking around. No one was really up for going to a bar or club, but it was a good time anyway. Earlier that night, we cooked up some zucchini in the hostel kitchen and had literally a pound left over to eat for lunch today. The next morning (yesterday morning), we took the bus to Bratislava, which is only a 1 hour ride away from Vienna- they are the two capitals closest to each other in the world (if you do not count Rome and the Vatican...) We only had one yesterday afternoon in Bratislava, as we are leaving for Budapest this morning. It is a lovely small town with a feel of a place that has been recently rediscovered by tourists without having been compromised by their presence (yet). But we quickly saw everything we needed and wanted to see, and are glad we only planned one night here. Neither of us were feeling in particularly energetic spirits for lack of sleep and a bit too much beer the night before, so we decided to make it a short night. We had a traditional meal in a small restaurant in town-- complete with honey glazed ribs and sheeps milk dumplings with bacon fat-- and thougth we wouldnt mind having Slovakian food more often. Too full for even dessert (crazy, I know!) we headed home and were asleep at 11 pm. It was a loud and not particularly relaxing night, with the loud irish travelers in the room next door and the street outside roaring, but a good recovery sleep nonetheless.
Now on to Budapest for more adventures!
