Nicky and i got the train from Salzburg back to Vienna. A nice relaxing journey.Nicky then went to the Airport and i had 5 horus to kill i thought i might as well explore another country haha.So i got the train from Vienna to Slovakia. My fligth was out of Bratislava anyways so i thought i would explore another city. It was onyl an hour on the train, Howver when i got off the train all was not so rosey! Noone could speak an iota of english or german it seemed! So i was totally screwed!!!!! I also had no Slovakian currency and trundle around for an hour looking for the tourist info that i couldnt find! I was toally pod and was wondering how the heck i was even gonna get to the airport nevermind the city!  In the end i got some Euros changed in the train station and went to street stall to get soem change, I pointed to some sausage thing ,paid for it and got change. The sausage was well tasty , there was also pork,chicken and cheese in it,i think! Was tatsy anyways. Time was wearin on by now and i though sod it there no way i will make it into the city and back so i attempted to find out which bus went to the airport. I went to the ticket office,where noone spoke english. I then had to do some charades and pretend to be an aeroplane. A woman got my dfit and wrote a number down on a piece of paper. I then had to find bus 61! After another saga i found the bus. I was so pod by that time i just jumped on without a ticket. I was praying for dear life that no inspector came on as i saw you can get fined if you dotn ahve a ticket but i just wanted to the aiport! I did get there with no fine luckily and i sat in the airport garden for 4hrs until i could check in.I must say ive travelled all around the World as you know but never(not even in Japan) have i been more in the dog doodoo than in Slovakia. Note to self take a phrase book next time!!! What an end to my great hol haha! Oh i then had to sleep over night at Stanstead again, well no sleep was had as i couldnt even get a seat and had to sit on the cold marble floor for 6hrs, oh the joys of travelling haha Not that it will stop me !!!!!

next stop Silverstone for the British GP yipeeeeeeeeeeee
