"Only a kind person is able to judge another justly and to make allowances for his weaknesses. A kind eye, while recognizing defects, sees beyond them." - Lawrence G. Lovasik

The Bratislava, Slovakia airport doesn't serve many cities, so I flew into Vienna this morning. I had planned on taking a taxi from Vienna to Bratislava, which is what I'd heard was the best way to get there. I asked the taxi driver how much it would cost, however, and when he told me 120 euros, I immediately turned around and waited for the 8 euro bus. I made it to the Bratislava bus station and upon seeing the bus station area was hoping that it wasn't actually where they were dropping me off. It was. I then got confused by the taxi situation, so I decided to walk to my hotel.

I had heard good things about Bratislava, but the area around the bus station probably isn't the part they're talking about. I guess the area around the Seattle Greyhound station isn't a classy neighborhood either though. I made it to my hotel without having seen any of the "cute" part of the city. I put my stuff in my room and then headed out to find the Bratislava in Wikipedia.

They ended up being right that the Old Town is very nice. It seems to me, however, that the city took all of its niceness and put it into one little area. It did score some points when I found a shirt for under $5, however, and I could pay for it in change, and John wasn't here to stop me.

This is appropriately named "The Blue Church"
