We loved Vienna it is such a beautiful city. It was almost a two hour train ride to Vienna from Brno. The train ride was nice we saw lots of huge rabbits and deer playing in the snow. It also was a scenic ride. The first place we visited was the Schonbrunn Palace which used to be the home of Marie Antoinette before she married off to the French prince. We took a tour of the inside of the palace but they did not allow any picture taking of course. It was so neat to see all of the paintings and furniture they had with marble and gold. All of the rooms were decorated so elaborate with gold panelling. I loved it I was just amazed by the whole palace.

The second major stop was St. Stephan's Cathedral. We arrived just in time to hear a holy mass so that was cool even though we didnt really understand what was being said. We also took a ride to the top of the cathedral to see the view of Vienna and also to get a closer look of the steeple and bells.

We ate lunch at this really cool pizza bistro place and had Starbucks. We had to stop and get some just cause it reminded us of home. It was very cold in Vienna it also snowed while we there and it was very windy too. We walked around the city looking at all the shops and the architecture of the buildings. We left Vienna around 5pm to catch our train, but I didnt want to leave. John and I really enjoyed ourselves there we had a great time.

I ll post more of the pictures later since it only does at time.
