Wien Semester, Tag 24: Bratislava


Samtag, 9 März

Today was quite an adventure. My Bratislava adventure started with me missing my bus by 5 minutes, which lead to a 2 hour layover until I could join my friends. But hey, I got to put more minutes on my phone!


To beat nightfall, my time in Bratislava was go-go-go. Luckily, Bratislava is so small, we were done in 2 1/2 hours:


Late Gothic stained glass in St. Michael's Church.
Altar, with Late Gothic arches above.
The Bratislava castle, which has been continuously inhabited since the Stone Age.
 

Nifty staircase.

Evidence of several renovations from several eras of inhabitants: see that Gothic arch above the doorway?



Some pretty impressive street art in Bratislava. According to this one, there's even a festival.
  






As I took this, I noticed a cafe inside.

We sipped coffee and hot coco in the most magical of all cafes...

Typewriters and birdcages.

Old books and bottles.

Old French horns, plaques, clocks, a telescope... with Elvis in the background.

The best hot chocolate I have ever had the pleasure of drinking. With an Italian biscuit,
