Vienna
After Munich, we arrived in Vienna and after a round-about walk found our hostel. Once we reached our hostel, we realized that apparently Vienna has a bit of a "red light district" and our hostel happened to be right in the middle of it. Apparently, prostitution is legalized in Austria. Well, I guess you learn something new everyday. Anyway, we grabbed some dinner and then took a metro to where the hostel lady told us was the happening spot. But, on a Monday night it appeared pretty empty, so we just hung out in an Irish pub for a couple hours. The next day, we walked through the center of Vienna, which contains a ton of beautiful large government buildings and museums. We ate some Shnitzel (a famous Vienna breaded meat plate) and then went out to find something to do. This night, there actually were people out and some people pointed us to a nice discotec in Vienna called Flex. It was a pretty nice club, but for 15euro you come to realize that nobody really does clubbing like Spain! The next day, we did some more random walking around Vienna and went to a large art Museum. The Museum had a lot of great pieces, with two of the more famous names being Rembrandt and Velazquez. That night, we layed low and watch UNC win the national championship! It was great to see them win and a part of me couldn't help but wish I was in Chapel Hill to celebrate. Although Vienna was a very beautiful place, it was my least favorite of the three cities we visited. I'm glad we saved the best for last though, Prague!
