The Twin City Party-Weekend

The good thing about a friend's wedding is that prior to the wedding ceremony and -party a decent stag night is celebrated. The past weekend it was Andi's turn and rather than a one-night party the boys extended it to a stag weekend with a first leg on Friday night in Vienna and a transfer with the Twin City Liner on Saturday to Slovak Capital Bratislava for another night of partying.

The weekend started in
Fischerbraeu on Friday night with lots of singing and beer whereas the group of 25 had some decent singing competition from a neighbouring table and thus pushed the boys to the extreme. As a consequence the waiters tried to calm us down because of complaints by next door neighbours, but they have been successful only to a certain extent. Around midnight the stag-boys transferred to a of Vienna's newest and hottest nightclubs – The Box which the hardcore team left at 0500 when the sun was almost rising again. Andi did quite well and was still fit at the time - he has been treated though quite nicely throughout the night.

When meeting early Saturday afternoon for the 75-minute boat-ride the groom - who by the way has married already legally Friday morning! - was weak and refused to eat or drink, complained about feeling not good and almost spoiled the evening. Time though all kind of wounds and so later in the evening a
mojito was the final ice-breaker. From that point on the party picked up pace and ended very early in the morning in the recommendable City Hotel Bratislava right in the heart of the city (or was it a 10 minute taxi rode away?). The hotel seems to be an insider tip for stag weekends. Sunday lunchtime Andi realised how lucky he was when he saw two other grooms - both from the UK - one dressed in really cheap dessous and the other one in a gimp suit botth heading back to the town in taxis. Coming weekend we are going to celebrate again - this time at Sissi & Andi's wedding party.
