The Ewings have arrived inAustria.

Wir sind hier und wir sind sehr froh. In other words we are here and we are very happy.

We landed on Sunday and Greg was bound and determined that we not be soft and collapse into our beds. So we had about 1-2 hours of lounging and then we went out to discover Vienna.

The transport system here totally rocks. We bought a weekly pass for $25 and it covers all modes of transport. Jordy pays nothing public holidays and weekends. Vienna is quite small so we can get from end to end in an hour or less depending on if you know what you are doing which we didn#t really.

So we picked a place to aim for. And we were off. It only took us about 6 hours to get the the Augarten(our goal) but that is only natural because we would catch sight of something and want to go and ooh and ahh over it. Alsö if we got the wrong train we would go exploring.

Jordy and I were a bit comatose but we werent allowed to sleep until 7pm so we wouldn't get jetlag.

So our first day we saw the Votivkirche, we went to the end of the U1 (U stands for the underground rail different to trains), we went around a lot of the innerestadt... around and around and around because when the S-bahns(S is for street so the same as trams) get to the end of their route they do a loop and then we'd end up back where we started. haha.
