We make it to Vienna around 2 and instantly we love it - dry heat! After 3 humid days in Prague, it was fantastic to be in some SoCal weather. Little did we know how much this place would end up feeling like home.
We headed to our hostel. It was a cool spot, a converted dorm for the Summer manned by college kids that told us all the spots to hit.
We took off towards the inner ring and found a plaza with some open cafes and sat down for dinner. This town is totally laid back. Have a beer, take 20 mins to order your food. Have another beer afterwards and just hang out. Don't worry about a big tip, our restaurant owners don't treat us like slaves. This lace is easily as laid back as LA, except every building has some kind of historic significance. After dinner we realize we're in an area call Judenplatz (Jewish Plaza). It had some cool sculptures and a monument to the 65,000 (yes, thousand) Austrian Jews that perished from 1938 to 1945. Cool and solemn at the same time.
We took a slightly different way back and ended up at an Irish pub where we tried 3 new kinds of Guinness beer we've never seen in the US and met a bunch of cool Aussie chicks that unfortunately had the token NYC buzzkill chick who had to go to some loser bar where she could play Connect 4 and everyone had to go because it was her last night. NYC wino-bag chick for the loss.
after the 11pm to midnight HH (we REALLY like this town) and some smiles from our smoking-hot Austrian waitress we called it a night.
Fucking bitchy NYC chick.
