From our way from Vienna to Bratislava we had some problems on the road and actually got lost once. :s
There were some works on the roads and how stupid - no signs! We had no idea where to turn left, right or do whatever it takes to come to Bratislava, so we did as we though it's the best and got lost...Normally it takes about an hour and some more minutes to arrive to Bratislava, but it took us 2 hours and some minutes, esp. coz' we couldn't find the hotel at first as well :s
The description of the road how to come infront of hotel is all WRONG!
But we managed; we asked some people and than went well. As you can see above, the hotel looks great; as inside as outside. It was renovated in 2006, so it's almost new :P
The rooms were huge with great beds, very nice bathroom and all in general was great! I think I chose again well :)
The evening we came, we only drove to a huge shopping centre where we went for dinner which was great and cheap in compare with Slovenia...than we made a plan for the next day and went to bed; were pretty tired from traveling and museum.
The next day in the morning we went to the ZOO. Read this: the entrance is 2 €!!!! Here in Ljubljana the size of the ZOO is more or less the same as in Bratislava and maybe for 1% nicer and the entrance fee is 6 €!!!!
We had a lovely 4 hour walk around the ZOO and saw some animals pretty close - as the lions and tigers.
Forgot to mention that as part of ZOO, there a DINO park as well and one "stupid" photo from there too.
After the visit we drove by tram back to the centre and made a walk around :) The city is beautiful and maybe it has a little to do the fact that's similar to Ljubljana. :P
It has many old buildings, caste, small squares and much more. But it also has something that we don't really - polite and very nice people!
Sadly, English is not their the strongest thing; but gosh, they are all willing to help! The problem we had was to buy two day bus ticket and we went to one TABAK shop where the lady didn't understand neither English or German and than we tried Slovene and Croatian and went well. But the point is...there were 2 older ladies (over 60 y.o.) standing behind us and helped us right away; they start talking, showing with hands etc. which we find very nice and something it's not going to happen here :s |
I am glad it all was fine:) Photos are cool!!!
