Bratislava

For Easter we went to Bratislava in Slovakia for something a little bit different. The city itself feels very small and is dominated by an imposing castle which overlooks it.

We had fun wandering the old town, popping into pubs and cafes along the way. The best discovery though was Kofola a kind of brewed cola drink (which out-sells coca-cola in Slovakia). The pub near our accommodation had it's own style that they brewed themselves which was great. The local sweet pancakes were also a huge hit.

A highlight was a day trip to visit another castle outside of Bratislava. It had snowed out in the countryside that day which provided us with some amazing scenery.

Bratislava is only 60klms from Vienna so we paid a visit to Austria and sampled some of the delights of the market (with so much falafel and Turkish delight!) as well as some general sightseeing.

There was heaps to see over the long Easter weekend and we definitely want to go back to Austria at some stage to explore some more.
