So cute :)
The Slovak National Theatre
There were some rather interesting things in Bratislava. We learnt that the most photo-opted sight in Bratislava is a bronze statue called 'The Watcher', who peeps out of an imaginary manhole! There are also other quirky statues scattered around the old town, so it was rather fun trying to spot them, heh.

View from Bratislava Castle; that's the Danube river...
We arrived in Budapest late in the afternoon. Our first activity there was a Hungarian Gypsy Night, which turned out to be quite fun! We were served ice-cold 'barack palinka' (apricot brandy; reminded me of Archers Peach Schnapps, which I love) and a warm cheese pastry. The cold drink and warm snack went quite nicely together!
Wine was served using long glass pipes; for dinner we had goulash as a starter, various types of meats for the main course and strudel for dessert. The goulash was really yummy! We were also entertained by gypsy dancers throughout the evening; hubby even ended up being 'tortured' by them! He sportingly went up on stage, drank the huge amount of wine given, and undertook an 'obstacle course' on stage while being blindfolded! Poor guy. But he was cool about it all and received a thunderous applause from the audience! :)
The apricot brandy was served inside the little green man, which we got to keep as a souvenir!
Dancers in their colourful costumes!
