After the constant buzz of people from Prague, it was nice to go somewhere more quiet. We journey to Bratislava, on a surprisingly cheap yet comfy bus. On the first morning, we were awoken at about 5am, by a French guy with nothing but denim cutoffs on – asking us why we are not dancing. We later figure out it was a stag night. The next day, we do a walking tour with a rather shy tour guide, the city definitely has a sleepy charm to it.
We then head to Bela Tatras on a train then bus. There is a dining carriage on the train, with two vegetarian options on the menu:
- Fried cheese
- Fried cheese with ham
We also did an epic walk into the nearby mountains – nicknamed “The Saddle”. Let’s just say that I’m not as fit as I thought I was and Converse Chuck Taylors are not appropriate hiking boots. Long hikes makes you really appreciate cheese-laced foods.
Photos to come.
