Slovakia, Not Slovenia

Seriously, who goes to Slovakia?

Answer- this guy.

I was on my way to Budapest, coming from Poland when I figured, why not? I mean, Prague was so great and Czech used to be part of the same country with Slovakia (Czechoslovakia, come on people) so I have to assume it is at least somewhat as cool as Prague...

I booked two nights stay in a hostel right by the Bratislava central station, a funky/weird/I-still-cant-decide-if-it-was-cool-or-creepy kind of place with a scary, horror-movie theme to it, especially in the pub in the basement, (including a glass table supported by an old white bathtub painted to look like it was splattered in someone blood (I hope it was a painted). I arrived at 6am from my night train and unfortunately couldn't check in until 1 so I spent a few hours in the basement by myself wasting away the morning on the internet surrounded by these creepy things.

When time finally came I checked in and headed to the city center to take a free walking tour. The tour was nice, I learned some stuff. And then I went back to the train station and booked a train for the next day, then cancelled my second night at the hostel.

Bratislava is a great place...for a day. DEFINITELY GO TO BRATISLAVA...if you want to say you've been to Bratislava. Other than that, don't bother.

Next stop, Budapest!
