Austria - Vienna

Vienna was nice because there was very minimal need to spend money there! Haha. Anyway, it truly is a very musical, artistic place. And Pin Xiu joins us here! It was so nice to have her with us =). The below pictures are just some of the many places we visited in Vienna… haha, see below these following pictures to read more about the less touristy stuff. Haha.




Kunsthistoriches Museum
Nationalbibliothek
Parliament

Vtoivkirche


Really beautiful flowers near the Vtoivkirche



Schönbrunn


United Nations Organisation (UNO) - we spotted the Singapore flag and were so excited over it. hahaha... must be because we miss home.

Prater Amusement Park - a significant landmark in Vienna cos it's a really old ferris wheel
More lovely flowers at the amusement park


Stadpark


Kursalon



Belvedere



OK! The nice pretty pictures end here. Haha… now for the more wu liao type of things. Haha!

Our hostel had triple decker beds!!! Haha, never seen these type of beds before.
Opera Toilet – amazing right?! Haha I told you Vienna was musical.



The most yummy pizza that I’ve eaten so far is from Vienna… gosh the amount of meat for a price of 2.50 euros!!!! Ok, I look greedy here I know, but it's shared among the 3 of us hor!



My second ice cream in Europe! This one is super duper yummy – I think it’s Italian ice cream. Anyway, their “one” scoop is actually 3 small scoops of different flavours… mine was rocher, nutella, stacciatella (similar to chocolate chip flavour).



Look at this!! I found this absolutely artistic and beautiful and math-ish at the same time. Hahaha! It was located at one of the train stations. It’s a very long stretch of mirror with the value of π (pi) = 3.14…… all the way!




And this!!! These are real painted egg shells… they were absolutely beautiful – I wanted to buy the entire shop home… they were so pretty and delicate!
