Came to Bratislava today - didn't know what to expect as the only people I know who have been there are Czech and tell me that it is part of Czechslovakia that they didn't want but I think, having wandered about, that that is a little unfair - apart from getting seen off by a taxi driver and drinking too much Zlaty Bazant beer - it is a beautiful little city - even in the dark.
Arrived by train, doing the green thing, having crossed a very snow bound Hungary to get here - beautiful trip down by the river and through some of the vineyards to a city that seems to be haunted by random statues (napoleon surveying the city centre/paparazzi photographer and a weird chap crawling out from the sewers) as well as a lovely Town Hall
Staying in a hotel right in the city centre - about 5 mins walk from the Danube and next to the Philharmonic and despite the 3 ft of snow that seems to be piled everywhere, this seems to be 1 hell of a city
