Bratislava - Make your own fun

We made it to Bratislava, thank god for the guy that helped us!!!! Then we had no idea what to do. We couldn’t find the place to buy the tickets for the tram or anything. I thought I had found the trams... But Andy was not convinced. The trams I found had wheels! But to be fair they did attach to the lines in the air – like trams. We couldn’t find the tram we needed to get to the hostel but we waited anyway. Then out of the corner of my eye I saw a real tram down the bank! To get there we had to walk down this bank and walk along the tram line – by this stage we thought Bratislava was the dodgiest place ever!! Once we got down we found our tram though! And also a set of stairs that came down from the train station. Ooops. We tried to get on the tram but couldn’t.. Andy says ‘I think you’re right Soph, we can’t get on this tram yet.. It has a huge red X! Oh.. wait.. that’s a no icecream sign’. Hahahah I couldn’t stop laughing – to be fair, it was a huge cross!
Once we got to the hostel it was pretty good, we went out to try and get dinner but only McDonalds was open and then we tried to find a pub; couldn’t find any! So we called it a night. The next day we decided to just walk and see what we could find. We managed to find everything that’s on their postcards so I think we did pretty well! The most famous thing that they talk about is their ‘castle’ Which is in fact rubble and builders (it burnt down and they are rebuilding it).
We were going to go on a pub crawl that night (the hostel hosted it) but it was 13E and we weren’t really sure about it. Then at dinner (one sausage for 1.50!! They tricked us by saying ‘as much as you want’ but they meant as much ketchup as you want!) we met these Dutchies that were really nice and they said they were going to just go out by themselves because they HAD to go to this pub called Cafe Kut (which means cafe pussy in Dutch) so we decided to tag along with them instead. We also met these two English guys and they came too. At cafe Kut we decided to order a beer and a Slovakian shot. The waitress gave us the strangest look when we ordered the shot, but we did ordered it anyway. The shot ended up being thick and yellow – a lot like off custard. Later we found out, it was in fact, egg nogg – not a famous Slovakian shot!! Next was an Irish bar, just the same as all the others really. Then we went to a super club (sarcasm) which had a DJ and everything! (a cd player in the corner! Then to choco loco (only went in for the name) and last a place called ‘The chill out room’ which was tables and chairs and incidentally, the only place with an actually DJ! It was SO loud! Then back to the hostel common room. I discovered I have a natural talent at being shockingly bad at Fussball! Also Andy and Tom decided to run down the hill with Andy in a shopping trolley.. They got pulled over by the police. Hahaha and then I was saying lets not tick any more boxes tonight! While walking backwards.. I walked straight on to the road and the police had to swerve to miss me. Ooops again.
In conclusion we decided that Bratislava should have the motto ‘Bratislava – make your own fun’ and that Eurotrip was very misleading. We had such a good time! But it had nothing to do with the place. Although, the view from the burnt down castle was very pretty.
This morning we slept through two alarms and missed out train. Off to Krakow at the moment. We have two nights there and then to Budapest where we have another night with Tom and Ben! (the English guys)
