Austria, May 2009 - Walk about through the heart of Vienna
Vienna - Troy and started with breakfast in the hotel. We walked to the inner loop of Vienna. Troy wanted to take a cab but I said let’s try walking the first day. It was a long so we will go via cab or tram next time. We made it to St. Charles Church and the Ressel Park near the Karlssplatz station. We wondered around, I was trying to find the Opera House because that’s where all of the tour originate from. Eventually, we found it then decided to take the Hop-on/hop/off red tour around the city ring. The tour took one diversion to the St. Stephen’s Cathedral. The tour lasted about an hour. We got off at the Heldenplazt and started looking for a place to eat. I had noticed an outdoor pizza café on the tour so we started walking in that direction taking many photos along the way. We made it to the café by 2PM. We were both thirsty and hungry. They had Budvar on tap, the real Budweiser! That was delicious! The pizza wasn’t bad either. We were there for about and hour and a half. Started walking towards the St. Stephen’s Cathedral in the middle of town. We went inside, I took many photos, this place is awesome. We made our way back to Heldenplazt then across the street to the History museums. Then back to the Opera House area. We started looking for a place to sit and have a drink outside. I found an Austrian bar with outdoor sitting. We both had a few brews and hung out a while. We went to the souvenir shop across the street and picked up a few items. Decided to head back to the hotel and rest a bit. Around 7:30PM we headed back to the city and walked around some more checking out the early evening activities. We ended up at an outdoor café called BarBar in the middle of a square. We had few beers and just hung out people watching. We made one more stop for dinner before calling it a night. Got in around 11PM.
