Vienna: Feel like a princess

Valid reasons why I was not able to write the next blog post:

  • My computer crashed after downloading "Yo-seh-mee-tee" (aka Yo-seh-mite if you say it how I say it)
  • Two days after my computer got fixed, I spilt coffee on it. Fried the keyboard. Lost computer for another 2 weeks. 
But all is good now, and I have my computer, with a lovely "new" keyboard from Hong-Kong that only cost me $20 dollars (versus the "$150" for an "authentic" Apple keyboard... psht who needs those anyways). 

Anyways, where did I leave off.... Oh right, incredibly hungover and travelling across Europe, from Prague to Vienna. 

Let me reiterate: best bus ride ever (other than the hungover thing, and the feeling of wanting to vomit on every bump in the road). They served tea and hot chocolate! 

Once getting to Vienna, we were greeted by my aupair friend, whom I met back in Paris, to take us to her beautiful.... castle. 

That's right, I said castle; moat, courtyard, and a labyrinth of rooms, bathrooms, and halls. 

It was so beautiful! The family, the accommodations, and the wonderful time spent in Vienna. 

When we got to our friends place, we spent about an hour just getting a tour of the house, and then we decided that we were too hungover, hot, and exhausted to go out into Vienna. Instead we lounged around by the pool, got to know the family, and went out for dinner at a local restaurant. 

Relaxing in a castle. 

The next day was our big Vienna day. Everyone knows my logic: things are much better demonstrated by pictures. 

I like taking pictures in front of big screens. *hint* take a look at the beautiful architecture in the background! 


A line to a clothing store.... At first glance we thought it was going to be a line to something cool. Some people are really serious about sales. 

Marie Antoinettes mother. 

This is us replicating the statue. I think we nailed it. 

We thought this was a cute picture. I wanted a picture like this with Denden too, but he said we had too much "cute-sy" pictures in Paris. 

Another castle we visited but did not stay at. 



I got to meet up with another friend in Vienna, have lots of amazing food, and enjoy a trip of a lifetime. It is so amazing to now know all of these wonderful people! 

Next up will be Budapest. I promise this time, I'll keep all liquids far away from my laptop.
