Following a leisurely b'fast in Prague, we left via train (in the pouring rain) for a 4.5 hour ride to Wein (aka Vienna). Eight years ago, Kendra's directions got us through these crowded European rail stations. Today we managed it on our own. Had a leisurely bowl of soup on the dining car - Baba's special Potatoe Soup and some Goulash Soup, then enjoyed the scenery. Almost went too far on the train through - good thing there are porters!
Arrived at the Hotel by 5. After settling in, we walked to the Belevedere Palace, Prince Eugene's summer home (very similar to Schronbrunn Palace, but not as elaborate). Then went to Sperl, a small outdoor restaurant and had wiener schnitzel and a very decadant dessert - apricot sorbet, apricot yogurt in a pint sealer, apricot kutchen (pastry), and marinated apricot.
We are planning for tomorrow - what we will see.
No pictures today.
