We had a short ride to Bratislava, where we had a short tour of the city and then proceeded to have free time for lunch. After lunch, we were introduced to Simona, an ex-exchange student from Slovakia. She guided us through the old city for about an hour showing us what Bratislava really had to offer. She taught us about various cultural aspects and even some of the incredibly complicated Russian influenced Slovakian language. With a population of only 450 000 it is the smallest capital city in Europe but it was defiantly a worthwhile stop.
After lunch we boarded the bus for the second time and headed to Prague, Czech Republic a four hour bus ride. Upon our arrival we were given some free time to relax and have a swim, we then had dinner at our hotel and then went for a walk in the centre of the city. We walked for about 2 hours till the famous Charles' bridge (usually it would take 30minutes) ;). After taking many pictures in this beautiful surrounding we headed back to the hotel and finally closed our eyes.
