Otodik nap - Day 5

Day five was our Vienna day trip. We left from the train station early in the morning and took the Railjet train - which is their new high speed train - and it still took three hours to get there!! I must admit though that the train was the smoothest train I have ever been on, and also, the most quiet. You could not hear any noises from the wheels on the rails as it was moving - unlike the trains at home.

We were traveling with Anita (Anna's sister) who showed us around Vienna via a schedule she had prepared with Viktor (Anna's brother-in-law who lives in Vienna). Vienna is a much more Westernized city when it comes to tourists. More touristy than Budapest. It is also a very beautiful city - with all of the palaces, galleries, and small side streets it is what you would expect when imagining Vienna. I can't really describe everything we did because it would take too long so let the pictures speak for themselves and I will fill in details when we get home to New York.
