This is just a short one for Vienna, running out of internet time...
Vienna was a great place that we never expected to enjoy so much. The city is clean and the attractions were great. Our first travelling day was to the Palace, yes another palace, a maze and the zoo. We also visited a carnival in which James and Adele risked there lives.. and lunch.. to go on a sling shot ride that reaches 115km an hour, Dee was nervous just watching hence some of the blurry pictures. The day was finished with a roast chook, bottle of wine and mozart balls (a specialty chocolate from Vienna, what a name!) by the Danube river for the sunset.
Gastro struck the hostel and took down two of our crew, so we were both on quarintine alert, specially with Dees vomitting phobia. We did a wine tour that day which took us away from the hussle and bussle of the city to the vineyard region. Many a white wines were tasted, along with one of the best BBQs we had had for sometime, pork steak, sausages wrapped in bacon and a big salad. Beach volleyball and swimming was done in the afternoon, along with schnaps, chocolate, chutney and jam tasting.
By the end of the day we were pretty stuffed, but found room to squeeze in one last schnitzel and beer for a farewall dinner for Katie and Claire who left us to go to Budpest.
Next stop Italia for some pizza and pasta...
