Woke up early to go to a cute breakfast at this great place called Goldenegg
We had eggs, meats, cheeses, breads, jams, hot chocolate and freshly squeezed orange juice
It's a good thing everyone understands English, or at least charades (like when Todd asked for change for his 5 euro bill)
We checked out of our apartment and didn't get charged €50 for snapping the key card in half. That was a huge relief.
We locked our bags in a locker at the train station.
We walked around down town and bought gifts of chocolate for people and ourselves. Tortenecken with hazelnuts is really noms and a ton of candy bars.
Sat at the piazza of St. Stephens and ate some fruit.
Went to Sigmund Freud Park and saw Votivkirche.
Also, we saw a man in a suit, looking well dressed, but talking angrily to the air and then smash a large vodka bottle on the ground at a children's park in the middle of the day. We stopped staring when we got scared.
We went to the Vienna International Film Festival (Viennale) and watched a series of short films that were really great and when they weren't in English they had English subtitles. Our favorite was called the Museum of Imagination about a prominent art historian of Indian art's memory and imagination.
The film festival people told us a good place to eat wiener schnitzel called Gmoa Keller. It was adorbs, the food was excellent and we didn't even have to pay for water. We had wiener schnitzel, the best potato salad, boiled beef, hashbrowns, and dipping sauces. It was tradish and delish.
We walked from the restaurant to Belvedere Palace and watched the sunset from the upper garden. Had a good walk and talked about being parents and our happiness and the films from earlier and ate some of the Austrian chocolate we bought. Heard some pretty accordion and bought some groceries for our plane ride to London.
Made it safely to the airport with plenty of time. We have had an amazing time. We have't lost anything, had anything stolen and we have had a really easy time traveling considering our luggage hauling all over Europe and me being pregnant. Todd's been taking care of logistics and with internet everything has been so easy!
