Vienna!!

Vienna was a great experience because we actually got to relax while we enjoyed yet another amazing city. The city itself was beautiful with buildings similar to Prague, so we loved walking around. After our night with Tyler and being shown some of the sights, we were given a list of places to see. We woke up for tyler to go to work, so really early, so we had over 12 hours to see the sights. 
One of our favorites we did early was the castle. It was this sweet building, and when we went around back, the grounds were surrounded by vast gardens that were beautiful. There were fountains and statues that were awesomely detailed. Then we walked up the hill that was in the back and hiked to the top to get the most spectacular view of Vienna. We could oversee the entire city and castle grounds and we stayed there for a little while just observing the skyline.
After that we wandered to the great Stephansburg Cathedral where, for free, we could go in and look around inside.
Then we saw the oldest Farris wheel in all of Europe and that was attached to a carnival area with other rides. Of course we got rained on again so it wasn't very busy and we could roam pretty freely.
Then we made our to the government buildings and then to a really cool island with a ton of cool bars and restaurants that all were deserted because of the weather. We saw all Vienna had to offer and were able to do it at a slower pace which was greatly refreshing.

  1. At least the rain is good for something! I'm glad the pace was a bit slower and that you got to see a lot. I hope you get some sleep on the upcoming night train. Good luck! Love, Mom
