Let's start with Bratislava. We started by hiking up to the Bratislava Castle (inhabited since 3000 B.C)! Unfortunately, the whole thing was covered in scaffolding and undergoing renovations so it was closed to tourists. This was disappointing.
After our picnic lunch, we walked around the city taking pictures:
You know you're American if you pose with statues:
Vienna was a spontaneous decision. Max had never been there so it was reason enough to go. We power-walked all around the city and were able to see the main attractions. Click here for Max's version of the play-by-play of stuff we saw there... Here I'll just post some random pictures in no particular order:
Above: We ate NUTELLA ice cream in one of the many city squares. NUTELLA! ICE CREAM!Below: We stopped shoving food in our faces long enough to pose in front of St. Stephen's Cathedral.
Below: When we're not eating or posing, we're behind the lens. Max is taking a picture of some fabulous building and in the background is the Rathaus (mayor's building):
Above: The two very nice people who spoiled us rotten on this trip. I call them mom and dad!Below: For all of his eccentricities, you can't go to Vienna and pass up a peek at Sigmund Freud's house.
After walking around until we were ready to collapse, we headed back into Bratislava for dinner at the Slovak Pub, which my dad had heard about from a local. Authentic and CHEAP Slovakian food:
We had the most amazing garlic soup (I think I can still taste it!), and some kind of dish with special Slovak cheese made from sheep. It was incredible and I recommend going to Bratislava for no other reason than going this restaurant!
