Vienna, Austria
On our second and final day of Austria, we went on a tour of snowy Vienna. We were amazed at all the architecture, café shops and puppies with special snow-shoes. However, after a long trek in the cold, we were ready for a café.
A warm, revitalizing drink desperately.
We found ourselves in Aida on a corner. It’s a popular one in Austria and felt like a diner with the waitresses dressed in pink uniforms. I got a cappuccino and Becca got plenty of the special Viennese cream in her coffee.
We visited the Hapsburg Art Museum, which was stunning, full of artists from the Netherlands, Italy, German, and Spain. Another museum we basically had to force Becca to go to was…The GLOBE MUSEUM. Not really, she was estatic. Yes, her camera was out before we even approached the building. Globes everywhere, astroglobes, landglobes, political globes, craterglobes, big, small, all kinds, globs of GLOBES! Incredible AND as Becca would like to point out, the only globe museum of its kind in the WORLD.
(Becca’s interjection: THE GLOBE MUSEUM MADE MY LIFE. Okay, I had to get that out. It was amazing. Rooms and rooms of globes! It was incredible. I wanted to inquire if I could rent a room there and just move in, but the museum worker man was not particularly friendly and probably thought I was already strange enough, squealing every couple of minutes with excitement. The thought did cross my mind though. Okay, excited rant over.)
Needless to say, Vienna stole our hearts and we are pressing onward to Praha!
