Our First Europe Adventure - Vienna












Vienna

We flew to Vienna on 27 December and found that the apartment we were staying in was right in the centre of the city. 

We caught up with some friends from Levin and Wellington that were also in Vienna on our first night. The next day we rode a Ferris Wheel which gave a view over Vienna and visited the oldest zoo in the world. The polar bears were the highlight. We also went out for a traditional meal of schnitzel - the size of our plates!

On our second day we went to St Stephens Cathedral which was just around the corner and went up the tower, we also visited  the Summer Palace which was extremely impressive - the grounds were impressive even in the winter. Ken and I explored the city in the afternoon and had a coffee in a traditional coffeehouse where Beethovan used to go.
