We spent 24 hours in Bratislava, which is a gorgeous city architecturally. Unfortunately we ran in to quite a number of rude people there, which dampened our spirits a bit. On the upside, we also ran into several very kind and helpful people, so on balance it was okay.
The old town is all pedestrianized and very beautiful. We wandered around looking at the buildings for quite some time. We had a great Slovak lunch of dumplings, pierogi, and Slovak pierogi which is deep fried. For dinner we had a light snack at a bar: crepes with duck liver and chicken wings, both of which were very tasty.
Getting out of Bratilava was a challenge, as we had no idea we needed to go to a different train station from the one at which we arrived. After a conversation with a lot of miming, we worked it out and got on a bus to the other station, making it just in time to get on the train that was about to pull out. One hour later, we arrived in Vienna!
