Vienna! |
After two overnight trains and a crazy night in a slovenian train station, we were very exhausted when we got to Vienna. We b-lined it to our hostel which was very nice and they let us check in early. We crawled into proper beds and took 6 hour naps, or in other words, a full night sleep.
We woke up around 2 feeling very refreshed and decided to hit the town and go out for a walk. Vienna was aesthetically very beautiful, but also very expensive. We just walked around the town for hours, taking everything in. We stopped for lunch at this "great" little place. The service was a nightmare. There was a garlic ciabatta that came with pesto, tomato, motz. I asked first to put chicken on it and they said that was unheard of. So i tried to order that sandwich and a separate piece of grilled chicken explaining i would pay for both items separately and the waitress looked appalled and sort of ran away from our table. After that fiasco...we decided to go back to our hostel, shower, and go out for a night on the town.

We went to Franks American Bar for dinner which attracted us immediately for obvious reasons. I got a cheese burger (obvi) medium rare (obvi- and amazing since red meat has not touched my lips in 4 months) and amazing chips. Oops...french fries.
After that we went to this club which was pretty amazing. The decorations inside were unbelievable so we spent a while wondering around looking at everything. Its annoying because so many people smoke in clubs and on top of the smoke machines my contacts were drying out like crazy. I had to get out of there. Drinks were super-expensive and there was a 10Euro cover so we tried to make as many friends as possible. They gave us a "credit-card" thing when we came in to use for our cover/drinks...and we were meant to pay on our way out. On our way out we were kind of ushered through the exit quickly and didn't have to pay...so we were very very confused. A lot of cops were rushing in and we asked what was going on and why we didn't have to pay for anything. Apparently...according to some people...there was a bomb threat so they were evacuating the building but I don't believe that that was true.

The next day we got up to explore the city again. Apparently everything in the entire city is closed on Sundays - but there was a marathon going on. We decided to walk the last 7 miles of the marathon haha which is weird.
