Bratislava is a lovely city with very friendly people. I've really enjoyed my stay here.
@rowenamonde Yeah I did, I'm a great fan of Central Europe and especially the former communist countries. BTW I wrote a book about travelling through post-communist Poland which might be of interest: https://www.amazon.com/Kick-Stalins-Cow-Travels-Post-Communist-ebook/dp/B01MS1E44I/ref=as_li_ss_tl?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr=&linkCode=sl1&tag=tiriiwr-20&linkId=d3807b93b510a6db0d4917aa5179aa4b
Not heading to Slovakia soon, but I am flying to Portugal tomorrow, then by train to Spain, France, Italy, Croatia and Serbia.
