Bratislava is beautiful. I really enjoyed walking around it´s old streets. Because we spent the night in the van, with no shower access, we really wanted to go to a place where we could shower and chill out. We found the only campsite around Bratislava, Zlaté Piesky. As it was a national holiday that day the campsite was crowded with people, drinking beer (wich is cheaper than water) and hanging out. It was not what we were longing for, but we got some rest.
We had found a really interesting place in a brochure. It was old ruins on a hill not far from Bratislava, so the next day we decided to go there and pray. It took us a while to leave the campsite. When we came to Barinka, the beautiful village where the path to the ruins starts, we stopped for a quick lunch in the shadow of a tree.
Ready for the mountain we drove up to where we thought the path started. The lack of signs made us end up in another place, on someone's property and our car didn´t want to start, again. So again, the problems in our car made us meet people we wouldn´t have met otherwise. Regina, Kevin and their labrador retreiver George live next to where Mr. Blues had his rest. Regina and her neighbour (who owned the property where we were) helped us to call mechanics who fixed a burnt cable which probably was the cause for the van's difficulties starting, and maybe it will fix the beeping (the oil lamp likes to buzz even though the oil level is always fine) as well!! They fixed it right there, for free...
The woman who owned the property wanted us to leave our car there when we went up to the ruins, she thought that would be safer than having it in the village. So we went up the hills, through a fairytale forest, to the ruins with a extremely beautiful view and presence.
When we came back to our van, Regina met us and offered for us to stay in her and Kevin´s beautiful house. They are great, open and beautiful people. We´ve just had a great breakfast with Regina.
Now we are planning to go to Budapest, but if the trip will continue like this we´ll probably end up somewhere else! Thanks!

Haha!! När jag läste det här kom jag att tänka på när filisteerna tillfångatog arken och de kom på att de inte ville ha den (klarade av att ha den) och de skickade iväg den med några getter, kor (?) som bar den och de gick råmande i en riktning tills de kom fram (!) och då stannade de tvärt på någons åker. Hihi. Känns som Mr. Blues inte är så kontrollerbar - i alla fall inte av människor. =D Kram!!
