Getting ready to leave Vienna...

Unfortunately, but Vienna has been a dream come true. Seen so many amazing places and met so many new faces. Kebabs and Schnitzels to the fullest! Lilacs everywhere. Visiting Vienna has completely solidified my desire to revisit Austria. Prost!

Vienna!

Just made it to Vienna today. We actually took different routes getting here and everything came together as planned. I rode to Vienna via Linz and Bennett took the train, both producing many great stories. Tomorrow and Sunday we will check out the city and meet up with Tanja, a family friend who has generously offered us a place to stay for a night or two. Thanks Tanja! Monday or Tuesday we head to Budapest!

Unpacking!


It took Bennett about 45 minutes to get all set up while I consumed about an hour and a half... I was still groggy from the flight I guess. The first half of our ride to Chris's was awesome, all tale wind and sun while the second half was rain. Birthday beers with Chris and his roommates tonight. Clear sky's tonight!

London is HUGE!

Smoothest plane ride ever. London is insane but absolutely amazing, traffic galore! More info to come, now... its food time.
