Naschmarkt Vienna

When I left you last, we were heading towards Vienna, Austria. Conveniently, my body decided that one cold in five weeks was not fun enough, why not go for a second? And in that case, why not give Steve a second cold as well? Sharing is caring, after all. Determined not to let a cold get me down, we powered through Vienna on our first day, seeing …

I thought we were quite lucky to stay at all the wonderful hotels that we stayed atduring this vacation. However, considering that Vienna is a huge metropolis with the typical overpriced accommodations that are generally the worst, I think Spiess & Spiess was even more of a special find. It was only two train stops away from the city center and …

The saying goes, "You never get a second chance to make a first impression." In Vienna's case, this couldn’t be further from the truth. Upon our arrival at Hotel Alstadt (which looked nothing like the pictures on the internet), we were told that Vienna was a “very clean city.” Well if by clean you mean broken bottles and trash …

Onze laatste dag in Wenen. Lex bedenkt een mooi programma. We gaan eerst naar de Naschmarkt en dan alsnog een nieuwe poging om naar de Donau te gaan. De Naschmarkt is erg grappig. Het barst er van de kraampjes met verse producten. Overal krijg je wat te eten aangeboden. En voordat we vier kraampjes verder zijn hebben we al heel wat gegeten. Gevulde …

Friday 4 May

Early wakeup, early Ryanair flight from Stansted to Bratislava. Cheap bus for 2 hrs to Vienna.

Arrived in Vienna and found hostel – Wombats City Hostel at the Naschmarkt (very nice hostel!).

We went to have some food at Café Schwarzenberg – I ate a schnitzel and delicious cake.

We walked …

Sleep actually came around 3:00am when we arrived at a train station, the black guy sitting to my right got off and the annoying italian woman moved to sit next to her husband, leaving me the entire three seats to stretch out on, and sleep. Around 5:30am light came and so did Venice. Watching the sunrise over the water from the train on the way in …

You spin me right round baby, right round, like a record baby right round, round round Today was spent walking in large circles round Vienna. To be honest, I don't really know what we even looked at. Personally I was paying very little attention to the sights around, preferring instead to chat to Temika, catching up with everything. Shannon, Tut …

Ive been around the world a couple of times or maybe more Ive seen the sights Ive had delights on every foreign shore but when me mates all ask the place that I adore I tell them right away... Give me a home among the iced coffee, with lots of cartons A Paley or two and Sparkling Ale A Schnitty on the plate My doggy out the back, and an old footy …

We headed out of Salzburg on route to Vienna on Monday morning.

On the way we stopped for a tour of a working underground salt mine (this is actually in Germany). And even through I had said no more caves - apparently according to Grant and the kids a mine is quite different from a cave!

The tour was really interesting, and …

We decided to wake up early to do a free walking tour that the hostel provided as it seemed the easiest way to check out the sights of Vienna (such a massive city!). Unfortunately, the guy at the desk had forgotten to mention that it started from the other hostel close-by. So we missed it! Instead we ventured to the big famous flea market at …

... for Brad! Did succumb to some tat later though and found myself with some magnets saying "no kangaroos in austria". We did also wander around the Naschmarkt (Viennese markets, which started in the 16th Century) but only because we were lost! One of the ...

Today is sadly my last day in Wien and oh what a nice relaxing day I had! First I went to the Naschmarkt, which is this HUGE fresh food market with all types off stuffed olives, nuts, fruits, chilies, cheeses and fish they cook straight up for you in ...

... very cute restaurant on an alley off of the Am Hof plaza, near one of Mozart's old apartments. Saturday we met up at Naschmarkt, which is a huge open air market. The permanents stalls are taken by fruit, meat and bread vendors; the back lot was ...

Got up and Marg had a stroke of genius... I am sure it hurts. We went along to the "Naschmarkt" I would describe it as paddy's but the food would be of gourmet deli quality and some "bargain" around every corner. We had breakfast there with the biggest ...

... , and stumbled across a beer festival near the university. Later, we tried to squeeze through the crowds at the busy naschmarkt, before heading out to the equally busy Schloss Schonbrunn, where we learned all about Sisi. On our second day, we ...

... Ah well these things happen. I went to the information desk and asked the man there for directions to Wombat City Hostel at the Naschmarkt because some how last night I threw out my sheet of directions for that hostel and kept the ones for Greg and ...

... of meer uitgerust op onze bestemming aan. Vandaag hebben we een rondje musea gedaan, met een uitstapje naar de Naschmarkt (soort grote internationale balkan-vlooienmarkt naast de gebruikelijke levensmiddelenmarkt die elke dag op het plein is). Wil er ...
