Day 1
After a short train journey delayed by 15 minute's we had safely left Budapest and arrived in city 2: Vienna.
A nice walk down to the hostel where we arrived at approx 16:30. A larger hostel this time round. We had gone from sharing with a couple and a random Canadian girl who Dan scared to 6 different people.
Anyway the first sign that we knew Vienna could be fun was when we were given a free drinks voucher. But we didn't need that because between 18:00 and 20:00 was happy "hour" - with 50% off beer. You can only imagine how that went.....
After 13 pints, 4 Jagerbombs and 2 Legspreader shots each, it's fair to say, we don't really remember mush for the first night. The girls let's us know though... they even knew how Dan and I first met (yes, that is the You Me At Six story...). After saying there was no sesh in Vienna, we proved it wrong...
Day 2
Fast forward 12 hours, We were feeling a bit worse for ware, more some than others as Dan woke up in the lobby of the hostel after to trying order a pint from there.
However, we did make some travel friends with some girls that were in the same room to us. Who studied at Loughborough uni (THIS IS WHY BRITSĀ SHOULDN'T BE ALLOWED OUT OF THE COUNTRY). Anyway after asking them how they felt after a big sesh from the biggest lads in Northampton (we're naming it the DG and Minx Crash Course). We proceeded to ask them what they were doing and they responded - "going on a walking tour". Conquisidently we were also going on a walking tour....... Ahhhhhhhh that's right we invited them.
We also knew we bonded well with them, as they were suddenly calling Me by my real name, Minx. So as we headed towards the walking tour we all decided we should bail on it. Luckily enough the wombats ran their own walking tour with a lovely gentleman (Russell). As nice as RussellĀ (that's not his name btw) he was just BORING AS FUCK. About 15 minute's of Russell explaining about the market outside of the hostel ?? we made a group decision to ditch.
So a few hours of walking round Vienna and being too hungover to actually appreciate the architecture we decided to bail. It
was also raining which really didn't help our cause. Although Minx did get to see some Fountains so he was buzzing as fuck.
We then ventured back to the hostel where we all sat there feeling very sorry for ourselves. After saying so long to our new found travelling friends. We then went for trip number 2 around the city as our hangovers had cleared up. This was more successful we saw more of the city and even MORE FOUNTAINS. We then ventured for some dinner. We should've opted to go for some nice viennese cuisine but instead the chilli cheese bites of BK were calling Dan's name. Although, this was no ordinary BK as the roof of this place looked like it was craved by a Roman God. After this lovely dinner for two we proceeded to walk down for a lovely riverside walk.
Day 3
After not being able to move on Day 2, Day 3 was a lot more optimistic. We knew we had to conquer the city. So we took our bags and went for a nice walk around the city and Dan managed to do a great job of filling in for Russell. After a
nice walk around the Museum Quarter and viewing St Stephens Cathedral we heading for lunch. We went to somewhere we knew we needed to go on our grand tour. Hard Rock Cafe. Thinking we had sobered up from our sesh on Wednesday evening we ordered the beers in. However, Dan was still clearly under effect as he decided the launch his beer all over place.
After our lunch we decided to walk to wheel of vienna this was not an impressive site. However, on the way there Minx did find his long lost relative Dobby the house elf.
After not being impressed by the wheel we headed to somewhere more impressive, Schonbrunn Palace. A place where I like to think dreams are made. The water feature at the palace was probably the greatest one of Vienna. After admiring the beauty of the water feature we headed up the hill where we had an amazing overview of Vienna. Minx was not the one who was reunited with his family that day as Dan found some pandas. Unfortunately we were not able to go to the zoo as time was of the essence. Anyway we then headed back to hostel and a
man down Dan went into bed. And Minx went for last walk around Vienna.
