Vivacious Vienna, Austria
I took the train from Prague to Vienna. It was about a 4-hour ride! We ate dinner at a central market type buffet and it was good but everything contained vegetables. They were cooked at least! No e-col-I for me!
Vienna is beautiful! The city is so clean! It is more westernized and the people actually speak some English! The people use their bicycles to get around. There are bicycle lanes and bicycles GALORE! I’d love to just ride my bike around the city here.
We went to the summer palace, which was HUGE! They had beautiful gardens with TONS of statues. You would walk through trees and there would be another waterfall or statue. You never turned a corner without a surprise! It was gorgeous. There was also a huge hill with a “gazebo” on top. Except a gazebo was an understatement…. It was pretty much another outside palace on top of a hill where you can see the whole city!
Spanische Hofreitschule Lipizzaner Horses!
We walked around the city and found gorgeous white horses. They are called Lipizzaner Horses! They dance and bow and perform! How cool would it be to have one of those horses!
Sisi Museum and Emperor and Empires’ Tombs
I went with some friends to the Sisi Museum that had the emperors fine china silver and gold. We went to their apartment to hear about their lives. It is weird because they lived in separate quarters. Sisi was 5’8 tall and only weighed 100 pounds! Marie Antoinette was also in this family along with Maximillion that tried to rule over Mexico. We visited the tombs of the emperors underground.
Amusement Park!
Vienna has one of the best Ferris wheels! I didn’t ride it but it is suppose to be one of the best in Europe. I rode the swings (like at six flags) except it goes like REALLY high in the sky! It was pretty scary. It was really windy and you can see the whole city of Vienna. We also rode a Ferris wheel type ride. It had only 2 areas to sit and it goes around really fast and flips you in your seat at the same time! You’re face is about to face plant the ground and at the last minute you flip!
In Prague I live off of pizza
In Vienna I live off of hot dogs
Vienna is such a wonderful city. The people are VERY nice and happy. You can definitely tell when a city has a free market or not. I would love to come back one day and spend more time! So much to do… so little time! It was such spectacular time!
All Aboard!
NEXT STOP!
Salzburg, Austria!
