Arrived in Vienna, after going through a pretty exhausting trip. With a friendly bus driver and still want to try to communicate with us in English although it is a mediocre * please, 15 minutes pause ….* and also always attention by asking if the amount we are all complete. a hospitality that is not dibuat2. From within and also a job business guide amid tough competition.
Vienna, the first impression is a clean city, modern but not eliminates the remnants of its past glory. Like a grandmother who was very old with the appearance of old-fashioned but still want to accept modernism in several parts of his body. It’s adequate transportation system to mess with. Metro subway and streetcar makes us no trouble to move from one corner to another corner of town. Our 24-hour ticket purchased at the machine and it applies to both types of vehicle. It’s really easy. We can choose to not have a ticket, but with a very high fine of course if caught. Examination is extremely rare. We may not have a ticket for it. But we choose to follow the law as Austrian citizen’s gives us a good example.
Wombat’s hostel we were looking for by using the metro subway, with a little difficulty reading maps and fatigue in some people to lift bags substantial burden. Hostel is pretty good, especially if I compare with the previous hostel. With the condition that bathroom cleaner, we began the first day in this city…. bath! We were so happy because her bathroom does not share with others and was in the room. In Vienna we parted with Mimi who was at home in Prague.
Vienna, 05.00 pm
Trip in Vienna at the beginning to the Schoenbrunn Palace. UNESCO World Heritage List at the end of 1996. There are Christmas market as well as in Prague. Not much that we saw in there because his palace was also closed to the public on this Christmas day. Little sorry can not see the beautiful garden behind the palace with the famous maze. From Schoenbrunn we continue the journey to the center of town. Starting from St. Stephan’s cathedral which was one of Vienna city icon. * as you go around a corner, the cathedral suddenly comes into view. Like a mountain, it is simple and wonderful; its sheer beauty lifts the spirit. Stifter Adalbert (1805-1868) * located in the center of town, amid shopping centers with the artistic bangunan2 not leave the past bentuk2 with today’s icon2 like Armani, MC Donald’s, Dior, and other brand2. the prices here higher than in Prague and even Dutch. Community income levels high enough to be one cause. I set the budget a little trouble here.
Vienna, 09.00 am
Second day in Vienna, starting with the Belvedere. The Gallery Belvedere is one of the world-famous museums. Located in the Belvedere palace that is owned by Prince Eugene of Savoy. There are two parts of the palace of the Upper and Lower Belvedere. The Upper Belvedere was a collection of 19th and 20th centuries and the Lower Belvedere is the Museum of Medieval Art and the Baroque Museum. Two buildings connected by a Baroque garden is very beautiful. Winter does not diminish the beauty of the park. My camera is not even enough to record the beauty of the place. Really “amazing”. We continue the journey to the Danube canal and the UNO city which is the center of several organizations joined in the UN. Travel continues to Heldenplatz (square of the heroes), the Neue Hofburg (new fortress), the parliament building which was built between 1874 and 1883 by Theophil Hansen, Rathaus palace and many more.
We also back in the hunt for souvenirs here * we did a tour souvenir reply my term and also tours with a form of photography * standard * that has plates, glasses and we had a little teman2nya * terkaget2 also at a price different from Prague. But the value of a souvenir sometimes beat the rationality of a price and quality. And we went back to buy up so much. I also broke three dishes that I bought because of negligence opened a troublesome glove that. There was a sense of regret, especially when I pay for the plate a second time * there is a problem with money?
Vienna Westbanhoff, 09.30 am
The train that took us to Salzburg. After a bit frantic search for missing Sadath the tiba2 when the train left for 2 minutes. He just laughed at this panic. Panic is not over. On the train we still have to go find a seat, which again does not have the numbers because we do not make reservation in advance.
Trip to Salzburg was impressive. Very beautiful scenery. All white with snow. Again reminds me of the novel or cerita2 movie about winter in Europe. Austria is not Dutch. The topography is hillier, making the scene even more impressive. Mountains with snow on top of increasing the lovely atmosphere.
Salzburg, 01.30 pm
Arrived in Salzburg. a small town, but amazing. Mozart’s hometown, the genius composer’s. Every corner of the city is much nuanced poster2 Mozart concerts ranging from classical music to brown Mozartkugeln extremely famous. Salzburg is also famous for its beautiful mountains, the Hohe Tauern, and also as a city the sound of music, a famous musicals of all time who took the set in some corner of the city of Salzburg and until now used as one part of interest to tourists.
we stayed in st sebastian institute which is part of St. Sebastian church. a place to stay very quiet. But its location is along a crowded street by Linzergasse stores. also unique because the reception staff is only open from 9-12 and 16-21 hours. We arrived at 14.00 to wait 2 hours to get into the room. we use the waiting period for around berjalan2 hostel. Our hostel is right under the hill a very beautiful stone. It’s remaining snow on the hill as the snow last night and added to the beauty of the hill. Around the church complex is also a cemetery where several families of Mozart buried here.
