Afternoon in Vienna

I didn't spend much time in Vienna (didn't even buy a postcard sorry Robyn) because there's not much I wanted to see there. I started off with St Stephen's Cathedral then St Peter's which I thought was nicer. I visited the Hofburg Palace and its museum. The Sissi Museum is interesting. It's about the life of one of the royals who lead a controversial life, then was murdered and became a legend. The memorabilia section reminded me of all the Princess Diana stuff that appeared after her death.

The museum was long though and by the time I was finished I just could not force my feet to go on much longer. Apparently they were still kind of mad about 9 hours in Prague. Silly feet! So I bought some food and returned to the hostel where I hung out with 2 girls from Chicago and a guy from Alabama. I thought my trip plan was hectic but there's are nuts! The girls are seeing almost twice the countries I am in two weeks less. Crazy!

It was kind of nice to spend some time with other travellers. Meeting locals is great but there's something neat about meeting people from all sorts of parts of the world. The girl in my berth on the night train to Vienna was an exchange student there from Singapore.

In other news, I have taken over 1300 photos so far. That's going to be a real pain to sort through when I get home.
