Place: Vienna, Austria = Wien, Österrich
Date: December 21, 2006 – December 24, 2006 Travellers: Molly Rumery, Sabina Beri and family

My style of travelling turned from planes to trains, hostels to hotels, and sandwiches to fine dining for a nice weekend trip to Vienna to visit a good friend of mine from the US who was travelling in Europe with her family over the Winter break.

Site seeing was at our beck and call for the next two days. We walked the main strip and fought all the last minute Christmas shoppers, saw the Schönbrunn Castle, the St. Stephens Cathedral, and made our way to a few museums. We saw Veinna from the "Wienerturm" which gave us the best view of the city and the Danube River that flows through it.
