Helllooooo Slovakia!

I'm on a boat, take a look at me! We decided to travel by boat instead of train or bus to Bratislava. It was a sight to see! You know you're in Europe when you see a guy casually drinking a beer on the 8:30 am boat.

Bratislava was,  well… Bratislava. It was cool, but nothing too out of the ordinary. Of course there was a city center with a castle, opera house, church, and so on. Our last host gave us a travel book, and so we was able to find something a little different. We rented bikes from our hostel, and biked 10 km to Devin’s Castle.   Devin’s Castle was destroyed in the 13^th century and was never rebuilt. It is all ruins with contemporary art sporadically placed in the grass. We climb all over the ruins and took some cool photos : )

That night was ate some more raw meat; this has become a normal occurrence. We had cheese dumplings (which are nothing like what Americans call dumplings) and a plate of meats, cheeses, spread, banana peppers, and bread… of course bread!

Travel Tip # 3: Always bring a small bag like a gym bag or backpack that is very easy to compact so you can put it in your backpack. This is very handy for day trips around the city and when you have to put your big bag under the bus or something, you can keep all of your valuables in it.
