Vienna, Austria

A bit late but thought you might want to know a bit about Austria. Well we got there on Friday night after work and went straight to bed. Saturday we were up, full up on the all you can eat breakfast, then it was off to see Verena! It was so great to see little Babina! A nice day of shopping and a bit of sightseeing. Saturday night we went to an awesome Austrian restuarant for Mila's birthday. A fantastic place with super tasty food. Then it was onto a few clubs for drinks and dancing. Mind you the smoking ban is not applicable in Austria! My goodness I thought I wasn't going to be able to breathe inside some of these places! It's disgusting. We got home about 3ish, Naomi was hammered and extremely funny, trying to fit into a tiny cupboard (she wasn't able to). Sunday we got up and headed into town for a day of sightseeing. The sun was out full force and it was a stunning day for views out over the city. We spent the day at a beautiful palace and going in a ferris wheel and most of all EATING! We ended up at the famous Sacher Cafe where we ate Sacher Torte and world reknowned dessert. It was extremely chocolatey. I opted for strudel! Sunday night we had a few more drinks in town, then it was time to say good bye to Verena and head back to the hostel. We set the alarm for 5.30am as we had to get a bus to the airport. Unfortunately we slept thru it and woke up at 6am. We had to get taxi's at 6.15am! So it was manic trying to get dressed and downstairs in 10mins! funny now, but earlier. But we all managed to get back in one piece.

Vienna is an exremely beautiful city. The people were ok but the sights were extrodinary. I will definetly go back during summer and take some time to go to Innsbruck to see Verena's home town.

Note: They don't speak Austrian, they speak German!
