Look at all the detail!
Mozart one time lived in this apartment building. Good ole Mozart! In case you didn't know Vienna was the capital of the classical music world. Lots of history and statues related to classical music all over. A very artsy city for sure.
St Peters church. Both of these churches were having church services which was cool to experience.
Cool statues like this are literally all over!!
Frankfurters/wieners in a role thing for lunch!
Eating gelato. They call it Eis here. The girl behind them is one of the most beautiful women I've ever seen in my life! The women in Austria and Hungary are one of a kind!
Holocaust memorial in Vienna. Austria was greatly affected by the Nazis and many obviously lost there lives.
This is Hofberg. This was a winter palace for the Hopsburg Royal Family.
The statues are just awesome. And some are hilarious!
We came up with a lot of funny captions for this. "What do you mean no..." "say it again, go ahead..." haha! We had a great time and laughed a lot!
Me and Jefe the tour guide. He did a great job of showing us around and explaining things.
This is the main courtyard area and front of the palace. On the steps of this palace is where Hitler announces the annexation of Austria prior to World War 2. Wow.
This is the Rathaus or City Hall Building.
Here we laid down in Sigmund Freud Park and stared at this church. Lots of students from nearby Vienna University were in this park studying and hanging out.
This was a theater. I really joked around a lot about this. "oh just another theater in some masterpiece of a building." at this point Vienna was starting to overwhelm me lol. So many amazing buildings! It's like ive been taken back to the 18th or 19th century. Vienna was actually kept intact during world war 2. It was not untouched but did not receive the damage other places did.
The Parliament Building.
A huge museum! 2 of these were actually right next to each other. I counted 32 statues just by the front door on the building. This place is nuts.
Action shot!!
We then met Jeff's aunt and uncle who literally just happened to be in Vienna for a few days. They are traveling with 2 friends through Austria, Hungary, Croatia, Bosnia, Slovenia, Slovakia and Serbia. That is quite a trip. These guys were so cool! Had a great time talking traveling with them. Sounds like Bosnia and Serbia were a little crazy since war just stopped there in the last 10-15 years.
Jeff with his Aunt and Uncle.
This restaurant rocked by the way! Great prices and huge servings! Both tough things to find in Europe.
The 2 friends. This guy really cracked me up! Told me all the money this trip was costing him and how he is tired of spending money. Traveling people are the best people to chat with.
This was my dinner. Pork Schnitzel with Austrian potatoes, cabbage, salad, fried egg, rice, cucumbers and a mango. This meal has got to rank up there with the best of em on my trip! I ate every last bit of it.
Jeff and Jed got the Schnitzel Cordon Blue. That thing is a beast!
We walked around this amusement park and laughed our heads off at this ride. It was the most vicious ride I've ever witnessed at any kind of theme park in my life. After the ride this guy yelled "Das War Ein Wannsinn!!!!" we all nearly fell over laughing. Plus with the cussing in the music it felt like we were in South Central.
We covered sooooo much ground today. We slept great knowing the Swiss Spiderman and is girlfriend had checked out of the room haha.
In his place came a scrawny Russian student. He came in and went to bed in the middle of the night.
