Bratislava










Or Pressburg to the Germans - practising for quiz league- Stopped of and did 5 mile walk in National Park on Danube-very pleasanr. Arrived Bratislava mid afternoon and had a few problems- Dave needs glasses very badly- mis read peaks for campsites and we ended up in a quarry then a suburb ob a hill. Eventually found Information at Rail station- very ofputting lady- very much Soviet style and a car park attendant who tried to rip us off. Felt bit down , but got to centre thanks to trusty Tom Tom. Proper Tourist info got us to campsite bit outside, Zlate Piesky.- bit like a run down Butlins, but hot showers and pleasant lake. Ate in local restaurant- what they lack in friendliness they make up for in very cheap prices for lovely food. Dave did mot choose the bull testicles and mushrooms, however. Slatted down all night and very wet and miserable next day- got on with it and enjoyed some very interesting architecture. Historic centre ok.
