We spent the entire day in Vienna. And we did not have to wake up early! There was an optional morning excursion that Grandma and I were not interested in, so we slept late. :) late meaning we were at breakfast by 8:30 lol we had a tour at 9:15.
We had another different tour guide show us around the city.We had a little trouble understanding her so I might not know what all the pictures are...lol Vienna is lot more modern than I expected. There are a lot of roman remains scattered around city, but it was way more modern than I thought it'd be. I would not mind living here at all. I just need to pick up a second language. Who wouldn't want 5 weeks of paid vacation and 2 years of maternity leave!? Every one employed in Vienna is entitled!! Men are even allowed maternity leave. Figure that one out.
The hotel that were staying in is probably the nicest one yet. Its right on the Danup River. The Danup is the 2nd longest river in Europe and runs about 14 km long. We have a great view from the room and the back side of the hotel has a bunch of tables so you can sit outside and watch the river. A bunch of us sat out by the river with bottles of wine after dinner last night. Its nice because were all starting to get comfortable around each other. We've been together for 10 days now so dancing like idiots and singing at dinner just seems appropriate last night lol. Dinners are alot more fun now, and touring during the day is more informal and comical. We went to Peter Park with its famous ferris wheel, the United Nations City on the Danup, he state opera house, the Jewish quarter and St Stephens Cathedral.
After sightseeing Grandma and I went on a hunt for shoes..lol the shopping around here is nice. A lot of really expensive shops and name brands so we window shop most of the time..lol we stopped at a cafe to grab some lunch and just hung out for a whole. The cafe houses in Austria are very relaxing and people stay there for hours at a time without buying anything. Since its not a very rushed atmosphere we were there for a while :)
