Skin of our teeth, off to Bratislava.
23.9.24 Firstly apologies to anyone who has ended up on this site expecting girl on girl action. Lets explore Central Europe looked like a good domain name until all the gaps between the words were merged into one long word. Having said that Carol thinks we may have inadvertently booked a double bed at one…
Time to explore Bratislava.
24.9.24 I stirred at around 5am, Carol was scrolling on her phone. I turned over and went back to sleep and at 7.45am she was still scrolling. She was so excited by now to be able to make a noise and began to bounce around the room, bless her. Think Duracell Bunny. I only have…
More Bratislava explorations
25.9.24 I was determined to only eat protein at breakfast. Started well, but it didn’t continue. We set off for 3 places we missed yesterday, via the war memorial. It ended up being via a cemetery as well. It’s always interesting to see how different countries lay their loved ones to rest. It was up,…
Oh Vienna
26.9.24 A 7am alarm, packed, off for our last amazing Ibis breakfast, then a Bolt that was also an Uber and off we went to the main bus station. At least we knew we had a booking and won’t feel daft and lost. Our Flixbus was bang on time. No check on the Bratislava/Austria border…
Our next jollies then off to Budapest
27.9.24 I was actually awake before Carol this morning. Breakfast was crazy busy, with long queues to make waffles and to get coffee. The eggs, beans and hash browns were cold. Ibis breakfast was definitely better than Hiltons We decided we would see the Stadt park, the Danube, Leopold roof terrace and Schonbbrunn Palace before…
Must-See Highlights in Budapest: 18km of Exploration
28.9.24 Another comfy night for me. Not sure why but Carol was woken by flashing lights in the room in the night, which must have been scary. Breakfast was good, not in the same league as our last 2 hotels, but definitely plenty of choice. After breakfast I went off to the loo and wondered…
Buda, Pest & Bratislava
29.9.24 6.45am alarm and off to brekkie, I don’t do well with only 6 hours of sleep. Thankfully the espressos are very strong. First stop metro 2 to the war memorial. I really need to do some background reading regarding the war. Instead I know everything about Hungarian cakes. Our lovely receptionist at the Star…
Dining room police! Our last day in Bratislava
30.9.24 The pillows onboard the Gracia Botel were the biggest we’ve ever seen. Jolly comfy they were. Breakfast is served between 7am and 10am. We arrived in the dining room around 9am. No rush today, nice to just chill and watch the boats go by. Breakfast was good a few unidentifiable objects, but plenty of…
