Bratislava!
After a full day of sightseeing and an evening at the International Circus Festival on Thursday, I left Budapest yesterday by train and arrived in Bratislava (capital of the Slovak Republic) last night. I tried to follow the directions to the hostel, but my lack of Slovak coins (the lady at the deli would only give me bills) and the overall lack of a Bus No. 80 (turns out I was supposed to take Tram #1--who knew?) resulted in a quick taxi ride instead.
I'm sharing a room with two other girls, both from Australia and both traveling alone. The hostel is relatively nice with free internet and sort-of clean bathrooms. Not too shabby for $17 a night, I think.
I'm about to venture outside for some breakfast. It's just after 9 a.m. and it looks freezing outside. I hope there is a nice and cozy cafe on this block, because if I don't get some caffeine in me soon, bad things will happen.
Cheerio!
