Vienna







So much to do in Vienna! This capital was such a bustling city that we felt there was still stuff we didn't get to do; But we did do a lot. The first night we arrived we tried to be lucky again and tried to find a hostel nearby. We stumbled upon this lovely place called Wombats that had a single room that overlooked the city.




We ended up going to the Reisengrad, a giant ferris wheel and a permanent carnival scene. As a side note, we should mention that the transit system is so freakin efficent that it boggles the mind; there was always a tram arriving every 5 minutes. However, they seem to stop at some point at night because we didn't have a tram back home. Mind you, we did have another stop at a bar named Flex located by the river, but we missed the last tram by ten minutes. We ultimately ended up taking a taxi, which made us realize how far away we really were. This made for a very grumpy little sis...anywho, the next morning we awoke to a gloomy morning and headed back into the Old Town. Our first stop was St. Stephen's Cathedral which was busting from the seams from so many visitors. We also visited the Hopsburg Palace and went to two art museums- the Albertina and the Leopold, before it began to pour...
