Exploring Vienna


Friday was a full day for exploring Vienna. I decided.to go with the flow and see what the day brought. It was hard to leave my awesome, 260€ a night hotel (not what I paid!!!) but eventually I got.moving and checked out the Kunsthistorisches Museum. Truly an amazing place - I spent 1.5 hours in the Flemish/German/Dutch wing alone. After that though, I was museumed out. So I grabbed a bike share bike - you didn't think I was done biking, did you!?- and biked first to a store then back toward the hotel, where I picked up my bags and switched hotels. Eventually I got around to heading to a brewpub where I got a sampler. Then I started to head to the UBahn to go to a heurige (wine place), but in a square on the way they were just starting a live broadcast of the Vienna Opera's performance of Don Carlo. I watched it until intermission, when I was too cold to hang out for another 90 minutes.
