Austria, May 2009 - Schonbrun Palace
Another awesome day in Vienna. We planned to meet for breakfast at 8AM, but I ended up going upstairs because of a miscommunication with the host. I ran into Troy around 8:15. He was waiting for me. I sat with him during his meal. Took a cab to the Opera House then caught the Hop-on/Hop-off Green line to Schonbrun Palace. We stayed for 2 hours roaming the grounds and taking pictures. We jumped back on the Green line to the Belvedere Palace. Not as massive as Schonbrun, I was burned out after Schonbrun. We hoped on the bus a headed back to the Opera House. I continued looking for 1516 Brewpub. Could not find it. We ended up at Atlwiener Restaurant in a secluded back street. The first waitress did not speak English so another came to our table. The food was excellent! After, Troy and I went walking and exploring, killing time until the next bus. Load and behold, we found a brewpub called 1516. I had been looking for this place since I arrived in Vienna. It was in a different part of town and a different name. They had on tap an IPA; Marzen; Weisen; a great natural cider and HOP DEVIL from Victory, brew on location. The appetizers were great. Headed back to the hotel for a break then headed back downtown for a steak dinner at Steakpoint. We sat outside, the steak was perfect and had a good bottle of wine with the meal. Went back to the hotel and had cocktails in the bar.
