We woke at 5:30am to find the lake wasn’t quite as glorious as Google described but it suited the fishermen, our pups and a cute school trip of 4 year olds who all pottered past the van looking up at Ernest who was staring out the window.
After a brief foray into Tesco (our first visit to one for 4 months), we drove into Bratislava to the excitement that was the Laundromat Cafe. With two big bags of washing, it gave us plenty of time to drink coffee and plan the next few days. Why don’t they all do this, it totally makes sense? Yes to vegan coffee and free biscuit but sadly no cake or other food options.
As a little warning to other campers, the parking is horrendous. Cars are parked everywhere, both legally and illegally. We even saw a car reverse into another parked car, then just drive off leaving it scratched ☹️
Still after this rather dull but necessary day, my parcel arrived…bleeding! My dad had flown in to visit me as a birthday present and I’m under strict instructions to take good care of him. So when he was last off the plane, and walks through arrivals with blood on his shirt and a tissue to his ear, I had to laugh. Not in the country 5 minutes and already injured. He was actually fine, just a little nick…and he’s in safe hands now – I hope 😂
I filled him up with lentil dahl and then we visited the UFO Tower which has amazing views over the city and funky urinals (photo courtesy of Mark). Rather than have a cocktail there we ventured into the old town to an unusual beer cellar pub called Steinplatz in the middle of a traffic island. Sadly neither dad nor Mark were impressed with the beer. I need to find better alternatives…any recommendations?
On the plus we saw some cool street art on the way home.
