3-hour stop in Bratislava

Step two of my Eastern Europe journey was a stop in Bratislava, Slovakia, which is just on the way to Budapest.  Within my 3-hour stay in this city, I was able to see the Castle of Bratislava, an obviously rebuilt version and not the Medieval castle I was hoping to see, but none the less beautiful in its own way.  After a little exploring, we quickly found that one of the town's major selling points was the food, and the other was the amazing prices... I couldn't believe how little I spent on lunch!  In Bratislava I sampled a delicious black bean stew and bell peppers stuffed with sheep cheese...a wonderful change from the pizza and pasta of Italy.  Although the stop was brief, it was incredible to take in even more Eastern European culture, hearing and trying to speak a new language, experiencing new food, and meeting new people.
