I am confused - not difficult I hear some of you say, but when you go the zoo and go to the Elephant house you see elephants or the monkey house you see monkey - but when we went to the Rathaus I didn't see any rats! Well apart for a few drowned ones – there was not even ratatouille on the menu.
After walking through the Rathaus and the Chrismas market we went to Cafe Griensteidl for coffee. It was very expensive especially as Linda wanted a cake as well. It got even worse - you had to pay to go to the bathroom as well.
After this we got on another tram, which was very packed, and went for a ride and I found her another Christmas market - but this one appeared to be closed probably due to the rain. We then went for a walk and found my favourite market near the museum where they do the berry punch and so I had a cup of this - before we walked to the Opera house. There are a lot of old buildings in Vienna and some are very beautiful.
We needed another cup of coffee and really to use the bathroom – so we went to the Cafe Mozart and got caught out – the coffee was nice, but you had to pay to use the bathroom – and Linda will not pay under any circumstances.
It was now 3.30pm and still raining so we went back to the hotel using the underground and finally able to use the bathroom without paying! We collected our bags and then was going to get a tram to the underground station – but it was going the wrong way – so we walked.
We got the underground to Wien Mitte – and from their the S-Bahn to the airport. We arrived with plenty of time to check in and have a snack and coffee before we boarded the plane.
It took about 2 hours to get back – and then we landed back in England.
I haven't even been to Starbucks today!!
