Wien Wieners

So Vienna is another one of those cities that we made up a new name for? I didn't know this. It's actually "Wien" here. Which also explains "wiener schnitzel" finally. A lifelong mystery: solved!

Firstly, I went on a walking tour with an adorable octogenarian guide named Ingrid. She was lovely. I got some quick Vienna history, saw some sights, and quickly realized what I was interested in doing. Vienna is apparently known for opera, schnitzel, and coffee shops.

I first went to a coffee shop and sampled some famous Sacher cake. It was kinda of dry and I was unimpressed. HOWEVER I did really enjoy the coffee shop culture. You've claimed your spot and no one will bother you. Fantastic. I love not being bothered.

I then traveled to the Leopold Museum. They had a giant exhibit called "Nude Men" which I find hilarious because I am 11. Lots of penii. That's the plural of "penis" I may have just made up. Whatever, I don't have Internet right now to look it up. Also, lol that iPhones capitalize Internet.

Oh! And a very nice but alcoholic man was singing at the hot dog stand and I forced him to dance with me. It was charming in a Vienna way. Just trust me on this one, it was cute.

Finally I went to my hostel bar and became so friendly and forced the bartenders to teach me their craft. I can now fully put "bartender at hostel bar in Vienna" on my résumé. I also stole an abandoned box of toffee at the bar. Well it's eaten now.

And now I am off to Bratislava! I convinced this fun Australian girl I met yesterday to come with me on the day trip. I am so bossy! (cue Kelis)

Vienna is pretty! Doesn't it look a little Diagon Alley-esque with that Gringotts at the end?
