... slammed open, and Janelle slammed it shut again, all night long, and for all six stations we stopped at between Venice and Vienna, together with each signal we stopped at.<br><br>Eventually daylight came and a breakfast of rolls and coffee was presented to us in our cabin. Mysteriously, grumpy male, who had managed to annoy Janelle by waking her up to ask when his stop was during the course of the night multiple times after being told she didn't know, had disappeared, so ...

... see in a city that, according to our tour guide, was ranked the cleanest city in the world last year. Apparently the reviewers didn&#8217;t take the canal walk back to their hotel.<br><br>This brings us to the near end of Sunday afternoon. Tomorrow we plan on visiting the Hofburg museum complex (the Hapsburgs&#8217; winter palace) among other sights. We will also be attending a Mozart concert tomorrow night. Until next time, Auf Wiedersehen!

Finally. Today's departure day. Everything is prepared, my backpack weighs 16 kg, and in four hours from now I will start my trip by driving to the airport. I will fly to Frankfurt, Germany, first and then proceed to Singapore where arrival is scheduled for ...

... architects. Strangely, there was a whole lot of inexplicable screaming coming from inside. The outside was painted beautiful colors, the ground was intentionally made uneven, resulting in some excellent frozen-snow mini ski hills, the columns were as weird and comic as Gaudi buildings in Spain. Tim and I wandered up to the balcony in front of the Hundertwasserhaus restaurant, when a waitress burst out, not dressed for the cold, and started pelting us ...

... room. The cent** of town revolves around the Hofburg Palace. This is the wint** home of the Hapsburg family, which was the ruling family in all the diff**ent Austrian empires through the years.

The Hofburg is surrounded by the National Library, Volk Theat**, Natural History Museum, and the Art Museum which is comprised mainly of the Hapsburgs form** private collection. The parliament ...

... Taylor along. We went to St. Stephan's platz because it was on the way. Apparently last Sunday was a bad representation of what Sunday's are like here. St. Stephan's platz was booming with people and artisans every where. There was this violin duet whose music we could hear singing from a good distance away. We stood and listened to them for a fair amount of time because they were seriously that good. We moved ...

Dear Blog, from Mykonos we flew to Nurrenburg Germany to change planes and then to Vienna, the capital of Austria. It is a nice city, probably the cleanest we had seen so far. We spend 3 nights there and the first night we went to a traditional restaurant for some Beef clear soup with Pancake strips and Schnitzel, very yum. The man who owed the place was the nuttiest but finniest man we have ...

... how well designed, are impossible to read. At any given time near any tourist site we could spot at least 8-10 other couples staring at their free tourist map in confusion just like we were. It was absolutely hilarious. All in all, we really enjoyed Vienna and would have liked to have visited more sites and taken in a concert or two. Next time I think we would plan our visit around a performance of the Lipizzaner horses and a Mozart concert, or similar. N&T.
