I think Vienna has been a mixed bag of nuts for us. It's beautiful but at the same time it's not. The people are extremely odd - apologies to any of our Austrian friends!
We arrived Friday evening, it was really hot but better than Budapest. Arrived at our hostel which was ridiculously busy and full to the brim with fellow travellers. Luckily they informed us on arrival that our room was also available for Saturday night aswell, which solved the issue of having to find somewhere else to stay for that night and eliminated the prospect of having to check in, and out, on each day we'd be here.
We grabbed a quick bite and headed back to our room to get ready before we went out to test the waters. We stayed in the 6th district so there isn't that much on offer around the hostel, although we did meet some very young Finnish guys who were also staying here and went to a small bar down the road called 'Traveller's shack'. Spent a while there but after an hour or two we'd had enough, far too many backpackers who were completely off their faces, and our little friends were a lot younger than we had suspected, therefore leaving decent conversation to a minimum. We made our excuses and left, walked around and found another bar where we stayed for a quiet couple of drinks...and shots...before we headed home.
Not much to be said in terms of sightseeing in my opinion. We walked all the way through the shopping district situated right by our hostel, checked out some buildings and headed to the museum quartier where we checked out a fashion exhibition and also the museum of modern art. Walked further up into the 1st district where everything became a bit more grand and upmarket, took some snaps and retreated back to the hostel as the weather had somehow dropped a good 15 degrees and was absolutely freezing.
As last night was our LAST NIGHT we decided to go to a nice restaurant and have a goodbye style, romantic meal together. Food was great and such a nice change from sandwiches. We definitely began to feel very nostalgic after that...
Today M left early to get to Prague in order to meet Richard by the afternoon, so I was left behind on my own! Not that I've really been on my own as we've been messaging since :)
Apparently the toilets are all out of order on her train, so that's....5.5hours without loo time for M.
I'm leaving for the airport in about an hour and a half..and I'm definitely very happy to be going home, to see all my friends and family and sort my life out a little. However, words cannot describe how incredibly sad I am that this trip has unfortunately come to an end.
So..this is it! Last blog post! Looking forward to seeing everyone!!
With love,
Gabriella and an absent M xx
