Vienna 3/8

Prague to Vienna 3/8 – Night train

We were both wrecked after our more exciting night out in Prague so we slept in and organised a late check out.

Taxi's were proving rather expensive so we gave public transport a go, including getting lost on a bus and tram to try and get to this Slovia pool to meet up with the locals from the night before. 

Whilst waiting for the tram we met Lucy and Maria, locals also going to the pool that were really friendly. It was lucky we started speaking to them, as the location of this public swimming pool was so hidden in this derelict area of town. They even questioned how we knew about the pool.

  

Once we found our way out of the maze-like creepy locker rooms, we couldn't find others, so we opted to chill on the grass with our new friends, Lucy and Maria.
I passed out in the sun after a few beers and chatting to their pommy mate, while Ryan played chess against the girls.  

6 hours later we got back to the hostel, grabbed our bags and went to a strange and possibly gay restaurant for beers and dinner, and then a taxi to the train station for the night train. 12.01am we left Prague for Vienna in a rundown smelly train cabin.

Vienna 4/8 - Ibis Hotel twin share

Eventually arrived 6am in Bratislava, which looked like a hole and not worth looking at, so we took another train to Vienna.
Not having accommodation we just took the metro to the main hostel area, but decided on Hotel Ibis at 9am because of the early check in.

We showered and slept until 1pm. Then took the metro to Cathedral and Rathaus which had a big movie festival on. Amongst all the cafes and stalls there was an Australia bar, that sold Mango cocktails which of course we had to try, and stumbled our way to the big Ferris wheel where we found a big amusement park. 

After a few rides we had dinner and went back to the hotel for pre-drinks. We decided to go crash Wombat hostel bar and met some British chicks and went out clubbing with them, met Derrick and ended up at a mad rundown night club with awesome hard-electro beats and a N64 on a projector where people were playing 4-player Mario Kart.

Ended up back at the hotel some time in the 'am'.
