Bratislava

After a very bumpy flight, a little bit of sleep, one and half movies and lots of eating again on the flight from Singapore to Munich we arrived at 5.30am. Luckily all our bags and paddles turned up. It is my second time going overseas with out a kayak and it is so much easier not having to carry a kayak through customs. We had a bit of confusion with the rental car and didn't know whether they would be waiting for us so we looked at a few different places on the map we had of the airport of where they could be but didn't see anyone who looked like a peugeot car person, so we left a message on thier phone after a while he called me back and said he was on his way. We got picked up and taken to the car place where we picked up our new car a teepee partner peugeot it had only done 14km after the guy picked us up from the airport! I never thought i would be sitting in a car that brand new!

We then got some petrol and attempted to drive to Bratislava, you have to pay to use the toilet in the petrol station, and buy little stickers for your windscreen to drive through Austria then another one for slovakia! I was glad i wasn't driving, taking round abouts and intersections on the wrong side of the road takes a bit of getting used to, and it doesn't help that the car manual is in french. We took a few wrong turns but got there eventually after about 6 hours of driving. It took us a while to find a park and the ticket guy didn't speak english, not many people do around here. We then met the apartment guy who showed us around our new home for the next week.It is huge!! 3 bedrooms (5 beds) , kitchen, bathroom, ensuite, living room ginormous and really new so thats good, its right by the main road though so a bit noisy. I am now trying to stay awake until tonight to not get as jetlagged but im feeling pretty shattered so we'll see. Tomorrow we will drive to the course and watch Carl, Callum, Finn and Tommy i think race in the first Teen Cup so that will be good.
