Heather and I have the t-shirts to prove it.
Walking through the streets of Bratislava, looking for our/a hostel, we were sadly reminded of Radom. Not such a good start. We dropped our things at Patio Hostel and headed for the centre. There really doesn't seem to be a whole lot to do. We passed a souvenir shop and I jokingly suggested we buy I heart Bratislava tees. We wandered, looking for food (because our days were clearly centered around eating). We found this AMAZING underground pub/restaurant, where we feasted on savoury crepes. The pictures I took, you would never know we were in a pub. There was an old radio player and other knick knacks on shelves against the walls. There were armchairs and cushioned benches for seating. It was really cozy and dimly lit...it felt like we were in an old-fashioned dining room or parlour. Our Polish language came in handy actually, as it's similar to Slovakian! That made me feel a sense of accomplishment, or something. Haha
After lunch we went for hot chocolate...the kind that you spoon because it's literally hot chocolate. Mmmm...bitter with cherry. So rich. Oh. And we totally bought the shirts then.
We decided to make Bratislava our rest and recuperation place. We could have stayed an extra night in Vienna instead, however the common room always kept us up significantly later than we planned. So after our food stops, we walked to a point where we could see the castle and the UFO tower over the bridge, along the Danube to take some night photos, we got groceries, and headed back to our hostel for an early night in. We had some Brazilian, American, German, and Indian guy roomies. They were a singing bunch too, so Heather and I didn't feel so bad about our constant need to break into song. Such a good sleep.
WE HAD BAGELS FOR BREAKFAST THE NEXT MORNING!! The small things count. You can't find bagels in Radom, or in many places in Poland for that matter. (Not that we've discovered anyways.) Next stop...Budapest!
