Now a word about the coffee. I love coffee. Wherever I go, if the coffee is good I will enjoy it more. It probably affects my opinion of a place as much as its history, cuisine, people, etc. While I am a fan of the coffee in Belgium, Spain, and Croatia, Vienna lives up to its reputation as the worl…

Arrived in Vienna early evening. I took the CAT from the airport to the city. On leaving the station I decided to follow some 'touristy' looking people thinking they'd be heading to where the action was. Unfortunately, they took me the wrong way and I had to back track about 20mins of walking. Perh…

  Yeah… Like I was saying… Really wish I could have stayed in Salzburg longer, but I guess that’s just how things pan out sometimes… Feeling like I haven’t quite finished with the town means that I have a good excuse to go back, right?!? The train ride was great, but at the s…

6.14.09 Vivacious Vienna   Vienna was so amazing and lovely that we decided to stay another night.  There are SO many enormous, historical buildings with lovely squares, fountains, parks and cathedrals to explore.  Plus, don’t forget that Vienna is the queen of coffeehouses, so w…

Mark took me on a day trip to Vienna as part of my Christmas gift the first year we were together. We had an amazing time, although I'll admit getting all the Christmas baubles and gifts we'd bought back on the plane was a real challenge (we obviously had no checked baggage, so everything had to b…

We started today, after a typical European breakfast, with the Schonnbrunn Palace.  We took the underground and got there without incident, although we exited the station the "wrong" side and had to walk down a long sidewalk and just hope we were going the right way.  But when we got to t…

Nothing much to say about my two weeks in Europe. To my amazement, the flight to Vienna felt quick, or as quickly as twelve hours can feel. Guess I slept. These sound-blocking headphones really do work. As soon as I checked in to my hotel I went right back out to walk around and catch the sun, rese…

Thursday, the last day we could spend in Vienna. We didn't actually have any plans, so we decided to jut walk and see where we ended up. We had one thing planned, an that was the Sacher Torte. Of course in Hotel Sacher. It was the only day it rained a bit, so we decided to take the subway (again, y…

Vienna Airport is situated right outside the city and is a relatively small airport. You can shop in about 30 taxfree shops, but don't expect any bargains. Most products cost about 3 euro more compared to the prices in the city (cd's, liquer etc).The cheapest way to get from the airport to the city…

This is about a trip I took with my Dad and my brother. Then I was ditched my my dad and brother. Sorry if my tenses are all confused I wrote some of the blogs in the present then later, at home, updated them in past tense... sorry.

Let me give you a little tip...no matter how close they look on the map, getting from Croatia to Greece is not easy. In fact, some would call it a "pain in the ass." By this point in my trip, I flat out ran out of time. In the beginning, I envisioned weeks or months to explore Europe's southeasterl…

unvergässlich!!! eine tolle Erfahrung, echt der Hammer!!!

Day 17 and the ‘Contiki Cough’ had caused me to lose my voice, although the actual cough was gone. Aside from not being able to talk, I felt absolutely fine, even with all the sickness going around. Also, I woke up in Munich with a huge hickie on my neck, which I don’t remember getting. It tu…
