Today we basically roamed from sight to sight in the 9th and 1st district. How much area is that? Vienna is divided into 23 districts. It's friggin huge. All the good stuff is in the 1st though so we focused there.
To get around we took public transit, a system which easily beats NYC in quality. If LA had this system, we could get past all the stuffy NY people for the best city in the US, but for now enjoy the traffic.
We spent the morning touring the Parliament and Imperial palace. then headed for the Danube so we could brag we'd seen it the 2nd longest river in Europe (1700 miles) from multiple sides (I know you're jealous). That afternoon we found a cafe with free Internet if you buy a drink and drowned ourselves in a bottle of pinot grigio. This is going to be an emerging trend as we hit Italy and France. Vienna has sort of been our beer-wine transitions spot.
That might we headed for the Bermuda Triangle, a 3 sided area of killer bars and got loaded on good food, wine and beer. Unfortunately the place kinda died around midnight (don't they know we're on vacation!) which wasn't all bad because we had to be out of our hostel at 9am.
