Again i've forgotten what i last wrote about (i really should read my blogs before i post another one! ha!)

i think i last wrote in slazburg?! ha meant to tell you - on the sound of music tour some random middle aged italians came up to us and asked to take our picture as we are 'bella'!!! how amusing! it cracked me and heather up anyway! spent our last night in salzburg with the americans (soooo nice!) oh and we went out to some austrian restaurant for tea. heather had a very bad experience with the food - very funny! i couldnt stop laughing! it was bad food! i on the other hand made a good choice!

travelled to vienna the next morning - the americans were on the same train as us. arrived no worries and headed to our hostel. had to get on the underground (which we navigated extremely well, our rucksacks just tended to smack people in the head... ooops! lol) the hostel was the stupidly expensive twin en-suite one... the annoying thing is it wasnt even that nice and had no breakfast! was nice to be able to do all my washing and sprawl it round the room though - i had a serious shortage of clean underwear (and clothes for that matter!)we headed off into vienna... sooooo hot. too hot infact! not the biggest fan of the city, especially compared to salzburg. met up with liam and talia as they were there for the night which was really nice. went to a nice bar in the shade and sat chatting for ages - they're so nice and easy to get on with! you can stop with them in australia when you go vee! they're ace!! then we did a bit of sightseeing and then headed out for tea together which was lovely! they wanted to go out, but we were all hot and sweaty so we agreed to go get changed and meet back up! they were stopping at the opposite end of the city to us in a nice hotel as all the hostels were booked up (even our overpriced one!)and they wanted to meet at theirs as they had a tv and stuff. we agreed... it took us at least an hour to navigate our way to theirs on the underground!!! we had to change on to at least 4different lines! lol. then these huge black guys came and sat with us and started asking for our phone numbers!! so funny... heather told them we didnt own mobiles and im sat with mine in my hand!!! luckily i managed to slip it into my bag! this was pretty scary as it was 11pm at night!!!! i think they just wanted some girls to go out with... one was called colin which made me laugh - how unblack is that?!?!!? hahaha! anyway, never went out in the end, just hung at liam and talias which was nice and then got a taxi home!! wasnt going through that palava again!

the next day it thunderstormed... lovely! as we are now experts of the vienna underground we just used that all day to get around! tried the sachre torte cake thing which is austrian and good... much better than the horrible sauusage experience hev had in salzburg! i forget the rest of that day!!! lol. spent the eve in the common area chatting to some irish people - i couldnt understand them they had a really thick accent!!

travelled to bratislava this morning... only took an hour which was lucky as we missed our train!! but they're so regular it turned out it didnt matter! our hostels here's really nice, but we leave at 7am tomorrow so we're going to miss breakfast... gutted! not had a decent one since salzburg! went for a traditional slovakian lunch... really funny. everyone's been telling us that the locals arent friendly, but the ones we've met have been! we'd been reading about this traditional dish and we wanted to try it. so we went into a slovakian looking restaurant and asked for what was in our leaflet (Even though it wasnt on the menu!) and they went out and bought all the ingredients for us!!! how funny! lol. we didnt really understand what was going on! thank god we liked it as we wouldve had to eat it after all the effort they went too! then we had some wierd slovakian dessert which i really didnt like, but felt i better eat it!! for both of us for a drink, main course and pudding it cost 350slovakian money! which is like 7quid... how cheap is that?! heather had a 50p beer!!! lol. my tango was more expensive... 65p!!!

anyway, we walked up to bratislava castle, not that impressive but you get a brill view over the city and the danube so it was worth the trek up there! horrible weather... lou says its red hot in italy!! but it's easier to carry our bags when it's colder so its all good!

dont worry about steve.. heather's parents are getting us! thank you anyway! hahaha jas you bully!!!

anyway, hope nana's ok. send my love to nan and grandad!

love to you all!
