Trish and I didn't wake up in the morning to do some sightseeing around Vienna because we stayed up so late the night before. The weather was also horrible that day. It was raining cats and dogs. So after we took our free breakfast in the hostel, we decided to go back to sleep. We eventually woke up around 4:00pm. Haha! Could you believe that?! We left the hostel just after sunset together with Michaela, one of the girls in our hostel room, who is incidentally Czech. She is in town for Erasmus. I was so surprised that she could speak perfectly good English unlike most of the Czechs I know.
That night, we walked around the Kartner Ring to marvel at the beautiful structures such as the Parliament Building, the Burgtheater and the Rathaus. We were quite lucky that the rain had stopped. Thank God!
Since Michaela had to go to her Erasmus Party that night, Trish and I were left to wander around the city. We ate at this small Chinese restaurant in Karlsplatz. When you're in a budget, Chinese food is the way to go!
After dinner, we walked some more to see if there are cafes open that serve the famous Austrian chocolate cake, the Sacher Torte. But sadly, most shops were closed since it was a Sunday. In Europe, they take Sundays seriously. Talagang no work for most people!
When it started to rain again, we decided to go back to our hostel. It was quite frustrating to walk under the rain with our umbrellas almost getting blown away by the strong winds. We promised ourselves that we would catch up on our sightseeing the next day!
