We spent the morning in Salzburg but we didn't have too long as we were taking the train to Vienna. I never realized how many trains we'd actually be taking. I think the next time I would definitely rent a car (with GPS of course) to tour the Austrian countryside. I think it would probably be much more managable. Plus I could totally go check out the Swarovski place...but I digress.
For our morning in Salzburg we went to the Mozartplatz and had breakfast at Demel. It was a really cute place. I noticed that most of the places we went to in Salzburg were pretty fancy looking. The previous night we were at Carpe Diem and that place was fancy, and then this morning at Demel. We are really classing it up this trip. Anyway, after breakfast we did some quick souvie shopping...there was a group of Euro teens buying beanies at the shop and they kept saying "gangsta, is this gangsta" in European accents. AWESOME.
We boarded the train for Vienna--It was a 4 hour train ride. Luckily there were no stops and so we were just cruising along at a clip pace. It rained almost the entire time on our voyage. When we got in to Vienna we had to split into 2 cabs. The cab driver that Rachel and I had was hilarious. He was super stoked that he was driving some Americans around (that's a rarity in this day and age) and he gave us a bunch of fun facts about the neighborhoods and the city as he drove us to "the Abbey" aka Haus Zamorsky Wien. My favorite part of the ride is when someone jumped out in front of him out of no where and he just started yelling and cussing them out in German. It was sweet.
After getting settled in to the house, we went out for some groceries, flipped on the TV where I discovered VIVA (another music channel that also shows MTV shows...I think it's the equivelent of VH1) and also discovered this magic.
Watch the video link for my German Hip Hop friend Jimi Blue. Prepare to be blown away with pure unabashed awesome.
With that I end this day in Vienna.
