Bratislava Day 1

Coming from Vienna

rain

So we left Vienna yesterday the town of Wienerschnitzle and Mozart and headed to the mother country Slovakia. We got on the train without a hitch and it was only an hour train ride. When we got off the train we realized we got off too early and were at another train station on the other side of the city. We hopped on a bus and were in our hostel by early afternoon. It was pouring rain all day so we didn't feel like doing much we pretty much hung around the hostel until dinner. We decided to go into the center to get a bite to eat. The old center of town is really nice from what I can tell in the dark. It's a pedestrian walkway full of shops and restaurants. Since this was our first night in Bratislava what did where did we decide to eat... yep you guessed it an Irish pub complete with American Music and Gaelic football on the TV. Let me tell you it was a complete Slovak cultural experience :). This leads me to a couple of observations about the Europe in general... No matter were you go in Europe there are two and possibly three things that you are likely to find no matter what city you're in 1) McDonalds 2)an Irish Pub and 3) (I'm becoming more and more convinced of this one) Australian backpackers. I think our hostel is about 80% Australian here.
