Alright so Vienna Day 2. This day started at Demel's, aka HEAVEN! It's a chocolate cafe where they make the chocolate right in the cafe... omg. We sat and watched them make so many delicious looking food. In the front of the store was a display of cakes, and we def had them all explained to us, and then we picked out one each. I can't remember exactly what Monica's and Cait's cakes were, though Monica had like raspberry in it, and Cait's had like two kinds of alcohol in it. She wasn't tipsy before lunch... nooo. I got the TRIPLE DARK CHOCOLATE CAKE! WOW! One bite was enough to fill the stomach of a grown man... haha couldn't resist the movie reference. cait and I had our pieces of cake, and hot chocolate. Bad idea! It was too much chocolate! I know, I know, is there a thing such as too much chocolate, but yeah there is. Oh boy was it good though! It was the best chocolate I've ever had in my entire life. I still dream of that cake! We sat there for like 2 hours though, I needed most of that time to eat my cake, it was just sooo rich! But I did finish it, as did Cait and Monica.
When we finished our cakes, we left, and I was thankful to be outside. The smell of chocolate was killing me. Oh well, I am happy to say after that breakfast, I was the first to have chocolate again! About two hours later, I reached into my bag and took out a few pieces of chocolate... hehe. We went to see the show at the clock, so Cait could see it, and I took pictures of each character. I took a video the day before, but you couldn't really see some of the characters.
We then walked around the Ring of the historical part of the city. It was a nice walk, about an hour maybe. We started near the river Danube, and ended back up past Museum Quarter. It was really nice, Vienna is sooo beautiful. We went by some beautiful parks that I wish we had time to go through. We ended up by oh guess what, a cafe! It was a really cool cafe, the bathrooms were unbelievable. It's way too hard to describe, there was mirrors in the actual bathroom, and the doors slid, but they were really heavy. The design was just really interesting.
After that cafe, we went back to the hostel, and Monica and I grabbed our bags. We were leaving that night for Frankfurt to begin our trip home. Monica and Cait were going to the Opera, and since it was standing room, I decided not to go. Even with the things in my boots, I could not stand for three hours, especially not in the end of a long trip like this. So they got into line, I got the bags and sat in a cafe for the next four hours. I did a lot of writing and reading, and I had fun. Around 10pm, I left and searched for Cait and Monica. Cait found me, and then we got Monica and headed off for the train station. Side note: They loved the Opera, and thought it was great. I wish I could have gone, just to see it, but I know better than to try and stand for three hours. My feet would never have forgiven me.
We walked to the train station, which wasn't a bad walk, and we just talked the whole way. It would have been more fun if we didn't have our bags with us, but it was cool. We saw another part of Vienna which was nice. I seriously could have spent a week in each of these cities, but in the time we spent in every city was so nice, and we saw a lot of each city.
So Monica and I got on the 11 something train to Frankfurt. Around 6ish we got to Munich, and then switch trains to Frankfurt. It was great because when we got to Munich, the train was getting ready to leave for Frankfurt, so we only had to wait like a minute or two. Our train ride from Berlin to Munich was better, I slept better, this time we just had regular seats and not a compartment. Oh well.
The airport we flew out of, Frankfurt Hahn is basically the Stansted of Germany, so aka in the middle of no where! We traveled a lot of that day to get to Frankfurt Hahn, our last part of the trip was a bus, and we both fell asleep during the trip. It was cool because when I woke up, we were going through some mountains, and we came out of them to a big open field as far as the eye can see and then there was the airport. We waited for awhile there, and finally around 6:25pm we left Germany, and got into London at 6:25pm! LOL!
Back in England, Monica and I departed, I took the train down to Liverpool Street, the Circle line to Westminster, and then crossed the bridge. It was cool, I really enjoyed Germany and Austria, but there is nothing like London. I stood on the bridge and looked at Big Ben, the London Eye, St. Pauls, Westminster Abbey, and I just left at home. It was a nice feeling.
When I got home Kathleen and Amaya jumped over chairs to greet me, which was awesome. I really missed those two! Kathleen had her friends over, so the next post will be about the invasion of Montana.
So ends my trip to Germany and Austria. It was a great, great trip, full of awesome memories, beautiful sights, and a loss of my heart to Salzburg!
