Nokia has improved a lot in these last years in issues of mobile phones including lots of features, and N95 8GB from Alex took us out of our problem and guide us (with GPS connection) to the hostel place, where after several minutes, we could get the bedroom, have a shower and get ready for knowing Bratislava nightlife.
We decided to go to Slovak pub, in ul. Obchodná (shops street) http://www.slovakpub.sk/eng/, where many students go there for having lunch, dinner or a warm chat drinking slovak beer.
The prices didn't disappoint us. You could drink a beer (0,5L) for less than 1€ (0,83€ cts),and have a typical Slovak meal for less than 5€.
Halusky, pierogi and many more dishes were in the menu and I don't regret to have tasted them as it won't disappoint you as well if you try them.
After more than one beer, we went out the lovely Slovak pub and decided to go to the city centre, to look for bars, pubs and any clue of nightlife. What a big disappointment when we didn't find any dance floor, any place where we fit in...
This night was the first step of our whole image of Bratislava...
Next day, Saturday morning, we had an appointment with Beata, member of AEGEE-Bratislava, friend of my flatmate Aga, and in a few hours of cultural guide. After a coffee and a piece of cake, we came accross her in the hostel and we started to walk and chat, watching attentive all we could.
Our interest was mainly focused on the strange tower on the middle of the Danubio, that seemed like a UFO and actually is called UFO.
We had to pay kind of 3€ for getting in, but it was really worth it because of the views and good weather that accompanied us during the whole day.
Here you see some of the marvelous views of whole old centre of Bratislava.
This evening, we met Matej, a Slovak friend of mine who was studying in Oviedo 2 years ago. He had dinner with us and with many members of AEGEE-Bratislava.
The next day we had to leave the room before 11:00 am, and during the checking out we started to talk with a group of Finnish girls who were in the same situation as us, it was the last day for them in Bratislava.
We all joined in a big group and decided to go to the castle after taking a coffee.
The castle was closed, so we couldn't get into, but once again, we had a beautiful views from the top of the hill where the castle is placed.
Slovak pub was our election to have lunch and to try the famous Halusky per less than 4€.Strauss and his "On the beautiful blue Danube" aslo accompained us after the lunch.
Unfortunately, this place was the last one where we saw our new Finnish friends, having to say goodbye, but wondering when we will meet again.
We all think that soon, Vienna is not so far from Krakow is it? :)
Hence, wed already seen more or less the majority of the important things in Bratislava, but Medieval weapon's and pharmacy museums were unknown for us.
The first one offered, appart from the many swords, helmets, knifes and rifles of the middle ages, an spectacular view of Bratislava during sunset, the perfect hour for photographers!
After the complete sightseeing guided tour thanks to Beata and Matej, this last one invited us to come to his place and watch some episodes of a funny serial called: "The big bang theory"
That was more or less our history in Bratislava. We would like to thank Beata and AEGEE girls for guiding us and for giving us advice.
As well we want to thank Matej, for his hospitality and always good mood.
Thank you...
