We are all packed up where are we off to today?
00:02
Bratislava, Slovakia.
00:04
Alright, so we're leaving Vienna behind and
we're going to be taking the train.
00:06
It is only one hour and it should be a lovely
ride.
00:10
You know what is so cool?
00:14
I think this is the shortest ride from point
A to point B that we've done in Europe all
00:15
It is going to be such a nice short trip.
00:20
We're going to arrive fresh and ready to explore.
00:21
Thankfully there is an elevator because the
escalator is broken.
00:32
That always seems to happen to us.
00:55
I hate having to carry it up and down stairs.
00:58
We've got way too much stuff these days.
01:00
We really could ship some things home.
01:03
We've been accumulating too much.
01:05
Too many souvenirs.
01:07
Too many souvenirs.
01:09
Too many broken electronics that we're hauling
too.
01:10
Okay, so we're buying our tickets.
01:12
I'm not sure how many stops.
01:17
But it is just too standard tickets.
01:19
Yeah, and the standard tickets are always
2.20 and you've totally just gotten in the
01:21
So yeah, it takes 5 and 10 Euros.
01:30
I hope it takes my broken bill.
01:32
Oh no, we have a broken bill that we've been
trying to get rid of for a long time.
01:33
Still having trouble with that?
01:44
I'll have to use a real bill.
01:46
Yeah, or you can use coins.
01:48
I have tonnes of coins in my wallet.
01:50
Is it going to work?
01:55
No, it doesn't like the fancy bill either.
01:56
You keep putting it in the wrong way.
01:58
I always have to do it.
02:00
Oh, it might actually help if you picked the
haha.
02:01
The amount of tickets you wanted.
02:06
Oh, maybe it timed out.
02:09
So we're just waiting for it to spit out the
tickets.
02:16
Oh, we didn't get much change.
02:27
Alright, let's go to the train station.
02:30
Put first we need to validate inside the validator.
02:33
You need to punch inside the validator.
02:35
Alright, so riding the U-Bahn.
03:03
Yeah, so we started off on line 3 and now
we're on line 1.
03:11
And we should be arriving at the station soon.
03:15
And I think I hear the train coming off in
the distance.
03:17
So Audrey is going to go and try and print
off our tickets for us.
03:42
I think we can print them out from an automatic
machine here.
03:45
So we found a little corner to hang out.
03:50
We have an hour and a half.
03:52
And I'm going to go.
03:54
I've been tasked with the challenge of going
to find us food.
03:55
I'm going to look for I've been entrusted
with that.
04:00
Find us some good stuff.
04:03
And we're just going to hang out here and
kill some time.
04:05
My ultimate pet peeve.
04:17
When we take out money and we get nothing
but massive bills.
04:18
Two 100 Euros which are very hard to cash
sometimes.
04:21
One of the many reasons I like Sam.
04:25
He goes and gets me food.
04:27
We have bubbly apfelsaft.
04:33
Not bubbly like wine or sparkling.
04:35
It is just like fizzy.
04:37
This is one of my favorite apple juices.
04:40
I can't even see it right here.
04:43
I would describe it is fizzy apple juice.
04:48
It has like a subtle mint hint.
04:49
I find that it does.
04:55
That is how my tastebuds interpret it.
04:56
I got really good stuff.
05:01
So it looks like a brie.
05:02
Brie cheese sandwich.
05:03
With some arugula and tomatoes.
05:07
Since we had such a sweet breakfast at the
cafe this morning I didn't get any sweets.
05:14
It looks like a poppy seed bread.
05:19
Alright, try one of them.
05:31
Tell me how it tastes.
05:32
And I'll have the other one.
05:33
That is not even a German accent.
05:34
What kind of accent are we doing right now?
05:35
We're just being silly Sam and Audrey accents.
05:36
Yeah, and it was cheap too.
05:49
I think this all came to like just under 7
Euros for 2 sandwiches and a drink.
05:50
You can get a really good lunch in Austria
and Germany at the train stations.
05:54
They have so many bakeries with like pastries,
sandwiches, pizzas.
05:59
And that is also a budget tip if you're visiting
either Germany or Austria just like when you're
06:04
actually there too.
06:08
Like if you find good bakeries you can have
baked goods and then you can also go to the
06:10
grocery store and supplement that with other
things.
06:14
I'm Almdudling with my apple juice.
06:21
I really like that.
06:29
It has got a bit of a kick to it.
06:31
I'm going to miss this.
06:33
Maybe we'll find some in Bratislava.
06:35
Kind of hard to say.
06:37
Oh, this looks so good.
06:38
I love all of the seeds on the bun here.
06:40
And it has got meat and cheese and a little
bit of lettuce.
06:42
Yeah, so we'll just be hanging out here for
about an hour or so until it is time to board
06:52
It tastes really good.
07:01
Oh, and there is free wifi here at the station.
07:02
So now we just hangout in our little corner
here.
07:05
On the train we have two window seats.
07:29
Yeah, life is good.
07:33
And they let us board nice and early too which
is always cool.
07:35
Guys we just spotted our friends on train.
07:38
Our friends on the train.
07:41
Alright guys so we got on the train.
08:01
It was so awesome and we bumped into our friends
Drew and Deanna.
08:04
We actually felt bad because we were supposed
to meetup with them in Bratislava and then
08:06
we had to tell them no we don't have time
and then he saw my Cubs hat on the train.
08:10
I saw the Cubs hat from a distance.
08:13
Gingers and Cubs fans.
08:17
Gingers and Cubs fans.
08:18
So what we're going to do is we have to go
to our Airbnb to drop off our stuff and then
08:20
we're going to meet up with these two again
at a cafe.
08:23
See you guys in a bit.
08:27
We've made it to the apartment.
08:33
Had some trouble with the taximan getting
here.
08:35
We got ripped off on the cab yeah.
08:39
Like it happens once in a while.
08:40
Here is funny story.
08:44
This guy said yeah we're going to run the
meter and then he like hides the meter as
08:45
soon as we get all of our stuff in and he
starts driving crazy.
08:49
We should have called him out but he looked
like such a sweet old man and we were like
08:53
no we can trust this guy.
08:56
And then he started driving like a psycho
and we're like buckling up.
08:59
We were more or less happy to arrive alive.
09:04
We ended up paying 13 or 14 Euros when it
probably should have been 3 or 4 Euros.
09:05
Anyways our mistake.
09:10
It is going to be cool to meetup with Drew
and Deanna again.
09:11
I'm just going to take a shower, put on my
Cubs gear and we're going to go meet up with
09:14
So we're heading out to meet Drew and Deanna
again.
09:19
Our search for food.
09:24
The neverending quest for our search for food.
09:26
And anyways this is only supposed to be about
a nine minute walk right?
09:30
According to Google Maps.
09:33
So we should see them really soon which is
cool.
09:35
Cool, so we've met back up with Drew and Deanna.
09:45
We're having beers.
09:55
We've got our Cubs hats on.
09:56
This is so awesome.
09:57
Something really cool about Drew and I is
we have so many things in common.
09:58
So like 1st Cubs and Blackhawks fans.
10:01
Cubs and Blackhawks.
10:04
We both taught English in Korea.
10:08
Not only that but we like taught in the same
area.
10:09
It is almost the same school.
10:12
Almost the exact same school.
10:13
I'd think we'd have a greater chance of being
struck by lightning than being in that same
10:15
And you're both redheads.
10:19
It doesn't get any better than that.
10:23
Doesn't get any better than that.
10:25
We both make videos.
10:27
We're like besties already.
10:29
Actually I've known about Nomadic Samuel for
about 4 years now.
10:32
When I first started my blog.
10:36
You are one of the first blogs I came across.
10:37
That is really cool.
10:38
We've known each other online for like 3-4
years.
10:39
We've tried to meet up a few times.
10:41
We just missed each other in like South America.
10:43
So it is so cool to finally meet up.
10:47
And okay so here is a question I wanted to
ask you.
10:50
How many countries have you been to?
10:51
You are like totally like ahead of us.
10:53
I've been to a 114 countries and trying to
visit every country before 2021.
10:56
So that is awesome.
11:02
I've got about 79 left.
11:04
And most of them in Africa?
11:06
Yeah, about 52 of them.
11:07
You're going to busy man.
11:08
I'm going to be busy.
11:10
So anyways cheers to that.
11:11
Alright and where can we find Drew?
11:12
And we can find yeah.

11:15
I post all of my videos.

11:21
Not as rocking as this guy.
11:23
Check out his channel.
11:26
The two redheads walking through Bratislava.
11:27
So we are back in the apartment now.
11:31
We said goodbye to our friends.
11:33
We did some groceries.
11:36
So we're I found a bottle of Chilean Merlot.
11:38
It was on sale for almost half price.
11:41
So that is what we'll be having and I got
something like basically the equivalent of
11:43
After 8 mints but a local brand.
11:48
Want to show us that.
11:50
Yeah, I'll show you that.
11:51
This is Midnight Mints from Chocola.
11:55
So yeah, we're going to end it here.
11:58
We've had a great day.
12:00
It was such a nice surprise to meet up with
Drew and Deanna.
12:01
They are such a nice couple.
12:04
It would be cool to meet up with them again
soon.
12:05
And we've just been having like a great social
life of late.
12:07
We've been meeting up with so many friends.
12:12
So it has been a great surprise.
12:13
And yeah, we're really excited to explore
Bratislava.

So the adventures in Bratislava begin right

12:17
