Most of our time spent in Vienna has been in parks wondering what we are supposed to be doing. This city is pretty but we're over museums, out of money and keep asking each other "what are we supposed to be doing?" We thought about putting out a blog alert "Help! we're in Vienna and have nogthing to do..." But that just makes us sound stupid. We read the travel books and know what other people want to see when they get here so we wandered around and looked at the outside of the buildings too cheap to go in. We're living off bread, butter and apples and 65 cent "beer". Actually this is a funny story...
So we're dead broke and while wandering the isles in the supermarket looking for the best deals, we see 65 cent beer. They are even tall boys! We are so excited but can't get them right now because we have a busy day ahead of us, we're going to be sitting at some park. So off to the park we go. We talk all day about how we're going to go back and get two and drink in our courtyard and play cards. What a fun night! We get to the supermarket just before they close and each buy one. Mind you our daily budget is 5 Euro so this had to be "saved for." We get back to the hostel crack them open, cards in hand ready for our fun night and it tastes like lemonade. We bought something shittier than Mikes Hard everyone. It had 2% alcohol and was just like drinking lemonade. We made jokes about Zimas, and Mikes and even taught out English roomie the term "bitch beer." Our fun night actually did end up being fun with several rounds of Rummy and lots of laughs.
We're taking a train to Salzberg tomorrow. I plan on singing the "Hills Are Alive" in Kristy's ear the entire train ride over. That should be fun.

Please sing to Kristy the whole time and then let her blog about it! I'm sure you'll like Salzburg more than Vienna. Take heart. And no more bitch beer. That ain't right. Ox c
ReplyDeleteSome cities you go to just to say that you have been to them. You can add Vienna to your travel resume:) Please tell me you are writing your daily budget on a mcdonalds menu? Glad you are having a good time. That's funny about the bitch beer. I've never even heard of alcohol with such a low alcohol content. Especially since if it's less than 5% or something here they don't even have to post it on the label. Funny! I wish I could post a video of myself singing "The Hills are alive" with my jolly british accent. That would be amazing.
