The Road to Serbia: Day 1 – Vienna

This year, we’re spending Christmas in Niš. But, in light of the climate crisis, I wanted to avoid flying there. I started thinking about how we could get there by train, bus, or car, and what we could do along the way. Since Christmas comes later in Serbia, I thought maybe this would be aContinue reading “The Road to Serbia: Day 1 – Vienna”

Viennese Cafes

Probably the most alluring part of Vienna is the abundance of Viennese Cafes. Many tourists in Europe or all over the world spend their time frantically dashing from one hotspot to another, always stressed that they won’t fit in everything they dreamed of seeing. Vienna is a different sort of city. Vienna is about cultureContinue reading “Viennese Cafes”

Last Day in Vienna

Today was our last day in Vienna. We’re heading home on the train tomorrow at 9:30am. The connection in Salzburg will be tight; there are only 8 minutes to switch trains, so let’s hope the train from Vienna isn’t delayed. It’s been a great trip. We set out this morning to take a look atContinue reading “Last Day in Vienna”

We started the day by checking out some shops. First, we looked in a local organics shop for someContinue reading “Schnitzel Day”

Zu den 3 Buchteln

Today’s the day – we finally made it to Zu den 3 Buchteln and got a table. But much like one of those TV shows that annoyingly shows the ending first, before going back to 1 day earlier, you’re first going to have to read about our adventures on day 4. After eating some bread from aContinue reading “Zu den 3 Buchteln”

Vienna: Day 3

I thought I’d write a little bit about Vienna: Day 3. The day started off lazy (remember, we’d been up late at Mozart the night before!), so I went out to fetch some breakfast. I saw a denn’s Biomarkt (a German organic store) and decided to have a look inside as I passed. We’ve startedContinue reading “Vienna: Day 3”
