Vienna, Austria

My hosts and I took a train from Frankfurt to Vienna, allowing us to take in the sights of the country side on our way down and across. Unfortunately we had to leave really early in the morning.

The city was a lot different to Frankfurt, a lot less modern, nevertheless I enjoyed myself. The first stop after settling in to our hotel was Stephan’s Dom, a 13th century gothic cathedral. There were so many humans standing around it I never though I’d be seen in front of it, till I found a scale model on one side that luckily no one else has seen.

There was a tower connected to it that you could climb up, and it has a spectacular view, I just wish it hadn’t been so many steps to get there, wore me out I tell you. The roof on the church was equally impressive, as you can see.

Unfortunately my stay in Vienna was short as my hosts were on a tight schedule with only a day in each city they were visiting. I’d certainly like to come back some day though.
