Vienna is our next stop, Vienna home of the Hapsburg family had more palaces than anything else. This royal family liked their residences more than their incestous relationships. We proceeded to visit as many palaces as we could, our favorite was the summer residence "Shoobrum Palace" this of course being around 5 miles from their Winter residence "Neuberg". I had to see all there was to see in the summer palace so we dished out the money for the 40 room tour instead of the measly 20 room tour. It was worth the dough just to see the royal porcelain potty!
We also enjoyed some culture by enjoying the outdoor operas by city hall in the evenings. We lasted maybe an hour before starting to get really bored, operas are definitely not our thing. All in all Austria was my favority stop up until this point of our trip!
