Vienna

 I arrived in Vienna this morning around 8:30 which is 7 hours ahead of SK time. I managed to get some sleep on the plane but woke up several times so didn't exactly feel like the energizer bunny this morning. I was hoping for a window seat but instead I got a seat in the very middle. There was a pleasant lady on the one side of me and a bit of an annoying lung doctor on the other side. He forgave me from being from AB because he didn't like Ralph Klein, airplane food seemed to be his pet peeve, and he offered to lend me his thriller mystery book to read. My luggage arrived safely and I stopped for a latte before heading to find a train. I took the CAT train in and then bought a bus pass for 72 hours for only 14.5 Euros. The train system is not quite as confusing as I thought it would be and so I don't feel lost which is always a good feeling. :) This afternoon I went to the Schronbrunn Palace and Gardens. I started resizing some pics but I'll just post a few from earlier on today and then hopefully post more tomorrow since I can barely keep awake. :P


Leaving the airport.
 
I managed to fit everything I was going to need into these two bags.



My cozy little room.

European Vacation

So, my vacation time has finally arrived! It was crazy up until the last minute (waterline issue that I thankfully got fixed a few hours before leaving and am so happy that I don't have to deal with when I come back) but I pretty much managed to get caught up on everything I wanted to. I'm hoping to blog along the way as I get access to internet connection. Now, I think it is time to go enjoy another Tim's while I have the chance. :)

A picture at the Toronto Pearson Airport as I know you've always wondered what it looks like. haha.
