Today, we woke up early and boarded the train to Vienna, also known as Weis. When we arrived, we went straight to our hotel (HOTEL!). It’s beautiful! We have beds that are both on the floor! Clean towels! Free tea! Clean shower!
Not that I don’t like hostels, but it’s nice to be somewhere where you know you won’t be woken up early by someone packing up to leave, or having a nightmare (FROGS IN MY BED!) or snoring. It’s definitely relaxing.
Today, we basically walked around Vienna, which was just as beautiful as Erika had said. Everything you see is ornamented or gilded and innately pleasing to the eye. The city itself has a calm, peaceful aura, so it was wonderful just to walk around and look at everything. We even saw a real-life dandy in the coffee shop where we had lunch, cravat and all! So far, I love Vienna!
Tomorrow: Museums!

Dandy, ftw! And who was it who dreamed of frogs in their bed? :) the hotel sounds boss, just like youuuu.
ReplyDeleteHeavenly hotels, enjoy!
ReplyDeletePerhaps you'll be the door-prize winner at the museum and bring home an original Gustave Klimt for your Madre. (It doesn't even have to be a big one) Love your sweet-face!
:D just got my third postcard! SO PSYCHED for the pictures of St. Sebastian's tomb, it sounds utterly spectacular--now I know what you've gotten me, you stole the relics didn't you? ^_~ naughty girl!
ReplyDeleteOf course I've been extending my life of crime to Europe! :) I have a (rather large) Klimt in my bag, along with a few other priceless valuables (they had Hagenauer at the Leopold Museum in Vienna!)such as a curiously ancient arrow. :)
ReplyDeleteAbout the frogs:
When Erika and I were in Dublin, a girl and her brother (from Canada, I think?) were staying in our room at the hostel. Erika and I came in late that night, only to be woken up almost immediately by "FROGS! THERE ARE FROGS IN MY BED!" This girl was flipping out, and I, still a little asleep, really thought there were frogs in the room. I start yelling, "Where are they? I can catch them!" offering to get the frogs for her because I thought she might hurt them. It was quite a commotion, and it took quite some time to realize she was just having a nightmare. The next day, we hear her talking to her brother, bragging that she really scared us with her nightmare the night before. Dude, we were not the ones having a nightmare about amphibians.
