So we left Prague for Vienna. We arrived in our hotel which was a university pension but during summer it is a hotel (which was a really good value for the location and the room). After letting our bags in the room, we left to go to the city centre which was at 10 minutes walking. There was a circus there with a lot of stand where they sold foods (we decided to go later because it was early). So we walked around. And it was really precious. Lots of monuments, church, cathedrals... I think it could compete with Paris.:)

There were people playing classical music which gave a different tone to the city. There were some funny and good things as well. If you want to buy a diary you have a kind of plastic bag at the corner of the street where you can take it. The thing is that they trust people to let money. It means, if you are an untruthful person you can perfectly take the diary without paying (nobody see you). And unfortunately, French and Spanish are untruthful. hehehehe
The second thing it is the tourist bike. It is the same thing as in Denmark, except that you have to pay. But you have a kind of electronic machine where you can pay by credit card and it cost 2€ per hour (the first hour is free). Why we do not have that in France or Spain.

So after we went to eat at the circus and we was good (sausage, potatoes...) the thing funny is that you have to leave 1 € for the glass and as soon as you have finished if you give the glass back you can have your money back. But at the same time if you want to buy this glass, you can keep it...
On the second day, we wanted to go to see the SISI CASTLE. If you are a fan of Sisi like me you can't avoid going to see the castle. SO we went there (We took the subway and... we did not pay. I told you that French and Spanish are untruthful) we decided to go for the visit of the castle. And there I learned something that I did not want to know as a fan of Sissi. Sissi did not love her husband. She was forced to marry him and she tried to avoid him during all her life. And even worst, they had a boy and he died (suicide), Sissi was killed by an Italian (fucking Italian, always in the worst stories) and her husband (I don’t remember his name right now) died alone and sad because he loved sissi more than his life. bouhouhouhouhhhhhhh

After we walked in the castle garden where you could see all Vienna. Really nice garden. We went back to the city, to visit the last monument (the main cathedral). We had a coffee and I had a kind of ice cream (it was a really good temperature). We walked and went back to the hotel. On the morning we went to the breakfast to take our provision (when the breakfast is included and you don’t have a lot of money, make your own sandwich). So we left to go for Budapest.
