Just a quickie here; one night. Chilled in the comfy outside lounge of my nice little hostel being watched by the ugliest, smelliest bulldog you've ever seen. (Hostel pet.) And I'm a bulldog fan. He had his bottom teeth bared permanently as he lay in his kennel and ignored me when I tried to talk to him.
The hostel was right near the station so it was a 2km trek into town in the rain for a walking tour. Didn't stop raining! We all froze in summer clothes it's been so hot lately. It's a tiny old town centre because most of the old city was flattened for more practical communist use.
Learnt interesting Slovakian pov on the whole Czechoslovakia thing. That they were allies of Germany before Nazi had bad connotations. And how their uprising against Nazis in 1944 failed miserably.
Also saw an awesome art nouveau church called the little blue church. It looks like a smurf marshmellow birthday cake jumping castle.
The bar under the hostel had a slightly morbid torture chamber theme, discovered it's because the movie 'Hostel' was set in Bratislava as an obscure eastern European city!
