Have just booked aerlingus to vienna on wednesday 5/9 for �74 direct inc tax. comin home from prague via gatwick with easy jet and ryanair on the 13th for �120 inc all taxes. I live with a slovak guy and he reckons 3* hotel in bratislava city centre should not cost more than �30 per person sharing a night with breakfast.

also might spend the wednesday night in Vienna, somewhere new to see i guess. The guy i live with reckons you can go on the absolute rampage in bratislava for �50 a day, cheaper than prague and all!

train is four hours from bratislava to prague aledgedly and will cost no more than �25. will probably travel to Prague on the sunday afternoon

Thats its Tom I am cancelling my trip, did not know you were coming along.

Have booked to fly into Vienna on the Thursday& catch the river boat to Bratislava. Not decided on Sun/Mon for heading on to Prague. Think I'll wait and see how Bratislava is first.
Already feeling that this will be my best trip yet! Just due to the duration, number of games and 3 countries to visit.

I hope you are organising the boat down the river after your fine job in San Marino. We haven't booked up yet - still to agree our schedule, so might see you in Bratislava.

Yeah I am booked to fly to Vienna on the Thursday and going to get the boat from Vienna to Bratislava on Thursday too. Takes about 90 mins and costs €15 not bad. Heading to Prague on the Monday.

Hey there Bear,

You'll have to stick with me on this one

but there's a good train and even boat service from Vienna to Bratislava.

**Moscow Mule** · 16/03/2007, 9:17 PM

Mr and Mrs Mule now flying into Vienna on the 6th, stopping one night for cake and tea, then plan on cruising down the river to Bratislava on the 7th. Sligo Hornet joining up on the 7th too. Plan on taking the train to Prague on the 10th. Counting the days.

Gspain, i actually got stuck in Amsterdamm on a fri night a few years ago due to industrial action by Aer Lingus. I was on my own, it wasnt as much fun as you would think or i went to the wrong places.
