Vienna, Austria

Wien (pronounced vine). Or Vienna. Austria. Driving straight from Prague to Vienna. Nick and I were wanting to stop in Brno however, it just wasn't realistic due to it being our only day to see Vienna Austria and we had almost a four hour drive ahead, starting around 9am. Grabbing breakfast at a rest stop right out of the city. One of those cold sandwiches they have everywhere. Nick actually drove the whole way to Vienna without any help. We did get stuck in some traffic as well, to the point of Nick getting out and walking around. 130km is also the speed limit in Austria, which is like 80mph. Which, side note: when I was driving back in Germany I was going at the very least 170km which is about 105mph. Crazy scary at first but I got use to it later. Hence giving me the nickname scoots.

Austria, neither of us had data. So getting around was a little difficult but we figured it out. Got on some trams and subways. First was the Belvedere Museum, where The Kiss by Gustav Klimt is kept. It was bigger than expected, beautiful too. I was so happy, jumping up and down. Nick said he never knew someone could get that excited over a painting, smh. Before, we had a bite to eat at Art Corner next door, I had some halloumi. Really good cheese I can only ever find in England.

After, we headed to the city center. Stephansplatz. Christmas market time and new mug time. Sixth mug. This one was a red boot. Super cute, still not as great as my favourite Praha one. Saw St. Peter's Catholic Church and a bunch of others surrounding. However, the best one (and the one we got to go inside and walk around in) was St. Stephen's Cathedral. Gorgeous. Only wish we could have seen it in the daylight. After that, we kind of just wandered. Kept walking toward the next beautiful building to the next. Found another christmas market that was just better than the one in the city center. It was bigger, with a ice skating rink, so many lights, etc. etc. This was in Rathauspark. I decided to get drunk on gluhwein this night. It was a lot of fun, a little difficult ice skating at that condition though. Yeah, we ice skated. Finally. In New York City we were so close to ice skating at Rockafeller and I think one other time. We talk about it all the time. And it's hard to because of his damn big feet, size freaking sixteen.

Getting back was amusing. Drunk and drooling for kebab. Yeah, my first time having kebab, with my vegetarian butt.

Woke up in the morning to snow falling. Our Airbnb had a beautiful view on the 5th or 6th floor (no elevator!). We had the Katholische Kirche Breitenfeld (St. Franziskus Serphicus) right there. It was really beautiful with the snow falling (I still hate snow).

Leaving Vienna we were starving. Finding food was the hardest it has been. We both had zero data to look places up. It was early, we wanted breakfast food. We basically wasted an entire hour walking around. Ended up getting one of those cold sandwiches at a rest stop/gas station. Then off to Munich/Munchen for one day...
