Throughout our trip we have been rather fortunate with getting enough sleep at our hostels, unlike the horror stories we’ve heard from travellers. For our time in Bratislava we choose to stay in just a four person room. To our surprise our two other roommates were at least early 50 year old women! One of them snored like nothing both Andrea have heard before, let’s just say that earplugs and headphones couldn’t deafen the noise. In the morning with whatever sleep if you could even call it that the lady had the nerve to complain to us that we were noisy. Thankfully they both were checking out that day!
We then made our way to the city centre for our walking tour. Now before the trip I didn’t know anything about Bratislava or even where in the map Slovakia was. Apparently this mistake is very common. When President Bush was there and spoke in front of the public he welcomed them as Slovenians even though the Slovakian flag was right beside him. Our tour guide was so informative and let us get to know local traditions and the best places to get a bite of anything! We now know to stay clear of Slovakia during Easter weekend since being a girl reasons in you getting water throw on you and then hit by willow branches by any guy at anytime. After making it through to the end of our tour we needed to try to get some sleep in order to be able to function later on. Once we were all rested up we went to Bratislava Castle. Now there wasn’t much of a castle to see as the whole gardens were basically all dug up with construction around it but there was the very of the city! On our way down we walked into the entrance for the medical city walls. It ha to imagine that the city was once constricted to just within the small perimeter, and there were lots of vendor shops all lined up. Thankfully they were all closed for the day when we were there. We then walked back into the main centre and made our way back to the hostel to catch up on last nights missed sleep.
