Bratislava

Today was another travelling day. We went to Bratislava by train and arrived about 4:30, we took the bus to the Ibis hotel. It's only a few hundred metres from the old town. Once we had checked in, we went for a walk around the old town. It was interesting but compact with lots of quirky statues scattered around.

We ended up having dinner in a local Slovakian restaurant which just happened to have live music. The musicians were a violin; a cello; a keyboard and a clarinet player, it was great to have live music while we ate.

Mark chose a meal which was chicken liver and chicken breast, it was delicious. After dinner we went to a cocktail bar and tried Absynthe and then had a cocktail as well.

Unfortunately, we found out when we arrived in Bratislava that the ferry that we were supposed to be catching to Vienna had actually been cancelled for the next two days because of flooding on the Danube. So it looks like we will be training to Vienna instead of boating. At least we have blue sky again!!
