2 amazing days in Vienna 🎭🎨🖼️

We went by train and spent 2 days in Vienna and loved the amazing art works and architecture. Vienna has so much history and culture, with a cool student vibe and huge university, it’s clean and safe. The Mooons (yes 3 ooo’s) hotel was excellent and easy to get to with luggage near the train station. We visited the Belvedere Palace and gardens where there is an extraordinary art collection including Klimt, whose most famous picture, The Kiss, is on display as well as other beautiful scenes he painted. We also saw many amazing art works including Monet and Van Gogh. We took the red open top tourist bus around for the 2 days and saw so many fantastic things including incredible churches and visited the Schonbrunn Palace and amazing gardens. Had the obligatory Weiner schnitzel at a great little restaurant on the way home which was well worth it. Food in Austria is really fresh and good quality, and service is fast.
Today we are heading to Venice on the train. First hiccup so far, we booked a first class seat for the 7 hour trip at a good price for booking early. Unfortunately, there has been some track issues due to weather. It’s now a 9 hour trip with on and off buses and few regular trains until we get there. Let’s say the young person at the train station was less than helpful and told us off for not reading the instructions in German email we received! I pointed this out and had to grovel for instructions printed in English. This has not been usual, we’ve had nothing but good service and people have been more than helpful, always happy to speak English, which they are all speak so well. We do try a few phrases 🫢
Anyway, first travel challenge coming up. Have to say, first leg on the train is still our original booking and is amazing. Hopefully we get to Venice before midnight 🫣
