Vienna – August 28, 2015

We pack up our stuff and hop on the metro to take us across town to our new digs.  This one is too far out and only has one decent restaurant within walking distance.  We have eaten there already and there is a rule written by Greg Ross about never eating the same place twice!  So we move 🙂

We find the new place after quite a hike.  It is a very warm day already in Vienna.  We are not complaining.  We would much rather have the warmth than the cold and rain that we had the last day in Krakow.

Settled in we’re off for more adventures.  We have schnitzel left over from dinner that we need to eat for breakfast.

 

Not far from our new hotel there is a square with a cafe and also public seating.  Stu pops in for coffee to go and we sit in the square eating the schnitzel and drinking some very nice coffee.

We use the hop on hop off as transportation.  Very hot inside, however the upper deck has a clear roof and will be hot as well.  Stu is soaked!

DSC_7060We get off the bus and walk a bit and find a very nice spot.  It is shady, lots of public seating and food vendors.  We choose “Happy Noodles” 🙂  After we begin eating we notice “Crazy Noodles” on the other side of the entrance to the Metro.  We begin to question our decision ……

Happy Stu eating his Happy Noodles!

 

 

Oh well, we are quite impressed with our 6 Euro lunch.

 

 

We top it off with Zitrone gelato from the Italian gelato place right behind us.  This spot is great!  Cheap food and all the people watching entertainment you could hope for.

We wander about the Old Town making our way to the Tourist Info office.  There is an excursion to some smaller places along the Danube’s Wachau valley that we would like to go on.  The young lady in the office is very helpful.  We will do this on Sunday!

This is what Rick Steves says about this trip

We then find a spot for a great cold beer and decide that we need another park day tomorrow.  A quiet park away from crowds of tourists, a game of scrabble and a picnic.  That scrabble game has been quite bulky to lug around, but it does give us lots of fun 🙂  That’s the plan for tomorrow.

We saw a park across from this beautiful church with these orange chairs for people to use.  This might be the place!

We spot these hot little numbers from the bus 🙂

Condo in the sky

As we are walking back to our hotel we see this place.  It looks like a modern condo built on a heritage building.  A glass box in the sky.  I hope they have AC for a day like today!
