"Vet" Vienna

We had one full free day in Vienna and it ended up raining the whole day.  None the less, I ventured out to see the city and do some shopping.  I went on the Hop on Hop Off bus tour and took all three routes.  To be honest, there really isn’t many interesting sights in Vienna.  I heard the concerts are amazing but they aren’t my cup of tea.  I did tour the grounds of Schonnbrunn Palace which were nice even in the rain.  I ended up in St. Stephen’s Square to do some shopping that evening.  Again, it was still raining and I managed to walk the wrong way out of the square which meant I was quickly lost.  Luckily I had a map with my hotel marked and the Viennese people were very helpful.  I was soon back on my way home dreaming of a wonderful Italian dinner at a restaurant near the hotel.  Unfortunately so was everyone else in the area and the restaurant was full.  So guess where I ended up...  the local pub – shocking I know!  I had a few drinks a very cheap grilled ham and cheese and called it an early night.  The next day we were off to Prague. 
Oh and a little update on The Boyfriend in Every Country Series – despite my best efforts I didn’t really find a boyfriend in Budapest (Hungary) or Vienna (Austria.)  Sorry to disappoint. I did redeem myself in Prague as you will soon see!
