What to do on Thursday in BRATISLAVA Derek Seto, England As the saying goes, a bad start it all pumped up. Something similar is happening with my travel this November. Just three days after I returned from Milan, I have had to go to Bratislava, the capital of Slovakia. Had to fly in the evening after work, cheap flights airline RayanEyr. Michalski Our gate with my buddy Davis flight, apparently, was the last of the day because the airport in Bratislava was completely empty. It was cold outside. There was fog. We needed to find a machine that sells bus tickets, but before the arrival of a bus is nothing like we have not found. The driver pointed to a few machines that we have not noticed, and cruelly leaves without us. Grrr! In 20 minutes we got on another bus, which rushed into the city, leaving behind Ikea store and a huge department store. The main square with the old Town Hall and Roland fountain After some searching the tram near the train station we went into the street Obchodna - it seems to Bratislava's main street - where the hotel is "Vegas". This hotel is constructed rather original, each room is named after one of the hotels in Las Vegas. We were fortunate we got the number "Ze Venetian" (one of the largest entertainment centers in Las Vegas, is made in the Venetian style, ca. Perevi.), Although the original he was very far away. But the bathrooms were quite even nothing. Apparently, the guests at the hotel was a little bit - a deathly silence. The Bratislava Castle The next morning we decided how to sleep. Weather has stood out excellent. I live in London and the sun had not seen for several months. One of the hotel staff was very friendly guy. He advised us to have breakfast in the place called "Slovak pub, which was on the same street. Slovak Pub Slovak pub "definitely has its own unique atmosphere. Interior him almost completely made of wood and somehow reminds farmhouse XVI-XVII centuries. There's even a horn on the walls were. The pub was packed to capacity by local, mostly young and students. There is even a special menu for students with funny names such as "Lunch is a poor student" and "Lunch is a poor student who tries to impress his girlfriend." I am sure that girls are impressed by properly. Cathedral of St. Martin in London is Czech restaurant, which is located near my home. There you can enjoy a great steak boar. Apparently, so I expected that the dinner will fly us a pretty penny. After a very tasty soup of tripe (the waitress asked me if I know what it is, and I am in fact, it was known), I was not disappointed when I brought lokshe. Lokshe - these are pancakes made from potato dough. They serve it with hearty beef stewed in tomato sauce. Even for me a portion was too big. Despite this, I am impatiently waiting for dinner. Lokshe after heavy lunch, we decided to take a walk and barely moving his feet, went up the hill to the main attractions of Bratislava - Bratislava Castle. I must say, this is not the most spectacular castle of those that I have ever seen, besides, it was closed for restoration. But from the Castle overlooks the city and the Danube River. Hence, we have made some great shots of a new bridge pylon which is somewhat reminiscent of UFOs. Apparently, within this space ship is a nightclub. Old medieval city walls, which diverge from the castle in different directions, look terrific, especially in light of the setting sun against the backdrop of autumn foliage. Monument paparazzi Below is the City's Cathedral of St. Martin, one of the most historically important churches in Bratislava. Here, even crowned Hungarian kings. Going a little further, we were in the old part of town, which is striking in its beauty. As always, I really liked the fact that all the streets of the old city banned vehicular traffic. Baroque palaces and buildings painted in pastel shades with hints of green, pink and yellow, very much reminded me of the Lesser Town in Prague (the historic district of Prague, approx. Perevi.). One of the old town stood out markedly over the others. Apparently, there, to the west of St Michael's Gate, was a very old cobblestone district. In the same area is the main square, which is the old Town Hall and Roland fountain. Monument plumber also interesting to look at the three bronze figures, one of which is called "Monument to the plumber." She is a person who looks out the hatch, and over it the sign that says "people work". The second statue is called "Paparazzi". It appears as a photographer, who from behind makes her scandalous pictures. And the third figure - a "gentleman's Monument", which welcomes someone took off his hat. The U.S. Embassy A large number of embassies located in the beautiful buildings in this part of the city, including the U.S. Embassy, ??and Germany. The National Theatre is also situated in a very beautiful building. In addition to the old town of Bratislava, particularly look more than that, so I had to go back to the hotel to prepare for the evening, we planned to spend in some fun place. Deadline for material:
