Well today we took an up close look at Vienna with a local guide using the subway system instead of the buses. I can't begin to guess at the speed these travel. But, Damm they were scary fast. As with many of the towns and cities we have visited on this trip Viienna retains its old world charm in the city centre while evolving into a modern metropolis every where else. We decided to stay in town after the tour was done and explore Vienna on our own this afternoon. We ate ate a local cafe and had wiener schnitzel and a very drinkable draft. Of course we also visited many many shops looking for just the stuff. Vienna is known for its composers such as Strauss, Mozart and many more. Tonight we are attending a concert featuring these and many more. It was an excellent time.
