Vienna

Our first day feeling out the town.

So we arrived early in the morning in the South trainstation. After an overnight train. It was wierd trying to sleep on a train. I wouldn't recommend it. When we arrived we got a little confused as to where we were supposed to go but we figured it out quick enough. After finding our hostel we decided to head out again and look around in the center of the city. The architecture is really nice here. It's less ornate than in Italy, but has a bigger feel to it. It's really hard to describe. We ended up at St. Stephen's Church. It's this massive church with a really ornate roof. I promise I'll post some pics ASAP. Inside was large and even more ornate than the roof. Daniela and I decided to take a tour of the catacombs. Our guide was really funny and ran around the place and tried to creep us out with the stories of who was buried under the church. We also wanted to take a tour of Mozart's house which is just around the corner from the church but we were out of luck becuase they were rennovating it. Heading back to our hostel we were very tired and very hungry. We stopped at this small restaurant just down the street from the hostel. It was very Austrian. I had a dumpling the size of my head there. Very filling. Tomorrow we plan on going to Shonbrun Palace for a day in the sun.
