Skin of our teeth, off to Bratislava.
2 ladies leave Türkiye to explore Central Europe 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…

Time to explore Bratislava.
I’m going to need a lot of coffee! 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,…

More Bratislava explorations
Out of the main city and beyond 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…

Oh Vienna!
Our expectations of Vienna are huge. 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….

Must see highlights in Budapest: 18km of Exploration
Walking around incredible Budapest 18km and still more to see! 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….

Buda, Pest & Bratislava
So much still to fit in – last few hours in Budapest 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…

Dining room police! Our last day in Bratislava
Lasting memories of Bratislava – Gracia Botel! 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…
