Bratislava

Today we were headed to Bratislava Castle. Our first adventure of the day was the tram ride..We got lost getting there because the changing of the routes because of flooding, but eventually we found our way. The tour guide that we had was actually Dr. L's previous student who is a certified tour guide for Bratislava.. She gave us a tour of the town and outside of the castle sharing many interesting facts. One fact is that the capital of Slovakia (Bratislava) is strategically places so that it is easy to get to by the surrounding countries/ capitals. After the tour everyone parted ways to find some food. For lunch, my group found the first restaurant we saw, this was because we were all starving. One of the comments made was "I want to go to one of the restaurants that not everyone else is going to" so that we were not all putting our orders in at the same time and it would save time. We allowed all the other groups to continue walking until we picked this restaurant but apparently they came back and two other groups picked the same restaurant. But that's okay because the food was amazing!!!! I ordered a tuna salad which came with lots of vegetable and surprisingly I ate them all. After that, we got to spend the remaining time shopping and enjoying ourselves. During shopping my group found a cute little Slovakian Pub and we all decided to go in for desert/ drinks. I ordered a coffee and it is exactly what I needed for the rest of the day. After eating we shopped for the remaining time until 7. We headed back to the hotel, had our group meeting which I got to talk to the famous Dr. Love one on one about the trip and finally headed to bed... But not until saying hello to my mom first :)
