Vienna

Imagine walking around the corner and finding this.

Vienna has a lot of old people. We think Austria is a destination for retired people on river cruises, because everything seems to cater to that age group! There are lots of classical concerts, expensive cafes, and overpriced antique shops. 

That being said, Vienna was exactly as we imagined it to be. Very traditional with not a whole lot of character. The tourist district is very classy and expensive, and then you leave the tourist district and its still expensive, but kind of sketchy.

The good news is, Vienna has some gorgeous palaces with really nice gardens, so we did enjoy our time. We also thoroughly enjoyed sitting with our feet in nice fountains drinking yogurt. 

We spent a few hours in a market where they mostly sold fruit, vegetables, fish, dried fruit, and fudge. We did happen upon a bakery that sold macarons, so obviously we bought a couple. It was Sarah's first experience trying macarons, and I made sure that she thought they were delicious. I'm not sure of her real opinion though. Just kidding. They weren't the best ones I've had - Odessa made better ones. Edmonton's are still the best so far!

Our hostel here is really cool. It kind of feels like you are staying in a friend's apartment. The hostess here is really nice and told us of a lot of things to see and good places to eat. We also got free breakfast, which is a plus for sure!
