The next stop of our great Eastern European adventure was Vienna! This is actually a place my dad was telling that I should go to :) As I mentioned earlier in my previous post, we took the bus here :) When we got to the hostel, we were so so happy! The hostel was so clean :D Kudos to Wombats Vienna!!
Modern place indeed :)
After settling in, we wanted to eat lunch! We asked the receptionist for a place that serves authentic Austrian food. She cited a few.. We were so psyched to eat, even though it was raining! But oh gosh. Since our hunger was too strong, we got lost :)) As usual! So... we ended up going inside a cafe!
Oh a little trivia here: did you know that Vienna is known for their coffee? Well I didn't know about that til I saw it in the internet. Apparently, there are so many variations (some are milk-based, some or not). I ordered a Melange - it's half mocha, half heated milk, that has cream on top :) Super goooood!
Aira and I split an omelet since we weren't really that hungry.
So after our late lunch, we decided to go sightseeing already!
One tip I have to tell you guys! If you're a tourist, compare prices of transportation. Would it be cheaper to buy single journey tickets, or would a day pass be more sulit? :P We got the day pass cause we wanted to go to a lot of places! We first went to Stephan Platz, another church :)) You know me, I like comparing and seeing the different architectural styles of different cities :P Uh and yeah, we just had to pose like this cause we absolutely love goofing around! :))) Actually, while we were posing like this a lot of people went up to us asking us if we wanted to watch a classical music concert. Aira was soooo tempted to watch, but as I was telling her I didn't enough money for that sort of thing. Plus people who watch concerts like that really dress up well. We were totally not prepared for that! I didn't prepare any fancy piece of clothing in 10-day backpack.
The church was lovely btw! We were going to our next stop when we came across this :))))) Hay nako, too funny!
Here's one of the places where Mozart stayed :) didn't go inside anymore because it was close.
We saw on the side that there a Christmas market! Oh joy! We quickly made a detour here :)
And of course, we found different handicrafts!
After checking out this Christmas market, which was mostly handicrafts, we went to an interactive museum!
Haus der Musik. Aira and I saw good reviews on this museum so we wanted to check it out.
Uh, if I were to rate this museum I'd probably give it a 7. I expected more from it but hey I learned stuff naman so it was okay!
It was pretty cool we were able to watch a classical music concert :> This my friends is a video fyi :)) Pretty cool!
So the museum made sections for each famous composer! It's really Aira who was so enlightened by this museum. She's the one that's into classical music :)
In the end, we had this activity where in we could be the maestro! :) Hihi. I did a very sucky job though that's why this man appeared! HAHAHAHAHA
We went to another Christmas market - for dinner! :)
I wanted to eat this but...
Renan wanted to eat this so I followed him and it was such a fail! </3 there was no custard inside!
We went back to the hostel because
we tried our sachertorte! Uggggggh, super overrated cake I swear. They say it's a really famous cake in Vienna but not everything you hear from people is true! Good thing, we didn't spend so much. The cake was so dry! And toooooo sweet!
