Longboard Trip through eastern Europe

Our first stop on our trip was the beauty of (eastern) Austria - Vienna, where we stopped for drinks and electricity (we both forgot our chargers). We dropped by some friends (if you know our way of planning, of course unannounced) rolled joyfully through the big city and tried to somehow reach our boat to Bratislava in time. 
Instead (of course not deliberately) we had to decide to watch some boats pass by while having some nice beers at the Donau.
Thats the story how we arrived in Bratislava by train. Not knowing if we actually were in Bratislava or any other city call Petržalka we were directed by some locals to the city. The search for any accommodation was complicated by night time typical - dim light, fully booked hostels and pretty rough street conditions, which nearly killed my camera.
After that we of course enjoyed the Bratislava nightlife with some really cheap beers, a typical slovakian disco and an invitation to a fight with some kind of a slovakian-nazi-hooligan-skinhead (his own words)

After we were kicked out of our accommodation we travelled on to reach our planned longboard destination, the small town of Ruzomberok in midst the slovakian mountains. When you have seen the roads, you will agree - if the wheather is kind it is truly a longboarder's paradise.
