So it was my own stupid fault for being so trusting and not learning Slovac but i thought i should warn my fellow tpunkers about travelling by train from budapest to bratislava and the return journey.
This weekend i went to the capital on the train and arrived with no problems after spending my halloween weekend there (and meeting lots of nice portugese people) I returned home only to be told i was on the wrong train going to Budapest!
Thouroghly confused i asked if i had mistakingly got on the wrong train and was this train going to Budapest. Conductor replied yes but i should have gone on the other route i was then made to pay a penalty of 30 euros. Thinking this was the end of the matter i fell asleep only to be woken up by passport control just after reaching the border of Hungary. After looking at my ticket i was told i was on the wrong train, god i wanted to kick this man in the shins when he told me i would have to pay a penalty! I tried to explain that i had already paid the "penalty" to the Slovac conductor....however....i was then told in Hungarian i should have only paid 10 euros to the slovac authorities and 20 euros to the Hungarian authorities...boo hoo...so now i am 50 euros out of pocket and Slovakia wasnt even that good lol
