Instead of taking the train from Budapest to Prague, I rented a Mercedes Viano van for Euro 438 plus an additional Euro 25 for one hour stop over in Bratislava. The capital of Slovakia is along the way to Prague so the extra fee only covers the waiting time.
I could have saved some money had I rented a smaller Mercedes sedan but I didn’t want to feel cramped, most especially that it’s going to be an almost 5 hour trip plus one hour additional to and from Bratislava.
Bratislava is two hours away by car from Budapest.
Here are our photos to remember our one hour stop-over:

I find windows a good photo subject.
We bought a few souvenirs.
There’s a lot of art around.
This is just so charming. I will copy this in violation of the artist’s intellectual property rights. I am not going to do it for money. It’s just to bring this ceramic home, it could break. I will copy the design on a piece of paper and frame it.

She wanted to bring home some items but heavy to carry.
Better to bring children to Europe after they’ve graduated from college like Kimberly. Little kids don’t remember churches, castles and art.
I am going to paint my cottage house’s windows similar to this.
We had to buy croissants to use their toilet.
Bratislava one more time
I made sure I remembered our paths. We couldn’t afford to get lost in this labyrinth of cobbled stones and arched hallways.

Europe is so charming. One does not need to be a professional photographer to shoot beautiful photos. Europe makes any photo charming.
When he saw me taking his pictures, he leaned over to get his sunglasses.
Time is almost up, we have 5 minutes.
We were walking back to our van when I noticed this small church around the corner.

Where’s the van? Where’s driver Roman?
On to our next destination, Prague
