On the 4th morning when everyone flew back to Frankfurt, the 2 of us took a train to Bratislava. So... Have you heard of the place Bratislava? Hahaha. I didn't know until recently heh, so suaku. Bratislava is the capital of Slovakia, land of a whole load of wartime history. Jem: the new Lonely Planet poster boy
We arrived! First step on Slovakian soil. 
At the train station, we headed straight for the tourist information which had a guide on a half-day tour of Bratislava. Ah, just right for us. As compared to Budapest (which is old and beautiful), Bratislava is kinda old and not beautiful. A more prosperous-looking place with a few Shenton-way-like buildings, but sadly with damn ugly graffiti at the bottom. A glimpse of the Bratislava town center...
The highlight of Bratislava for me, haha, was the MacDonalds! They have a whole range of weird burgers we've never seen before. Not even in other parts of Europe. Everyone, please check out the SwissKing burger: succulent beef patty, melted cheese, steaming hash brown and a bun with toasted cheese on top! I'm salivating again. Hash brown shouldn't just be eaten at breakfast yo.
Bratislava has some beautiful architechures here and there, but most part of the town is too urban for my liking..
And so, we spent half a day touring Bratislava, spending only 8euros (S$16) which got us a sumptuous Macs lunch, 1 bottle of water and 2 bus tickets to the airport. Cheap hor.
From Bratislava airport, we took Ryanair to Milan (another one of those 0.01euro tickets)! Landed at the ulu budget airport in Milan and off we go to seek shelter at Mirs and Stirs' :) Their Milano pad is 10 thousand times more posh than my village in Hattenheim yo. All's cool, cept for the 5x4 flights of stairs.
The next morning we headed to the magical land of Venezia! To be continued...
