Sunday 25 October It doesn't feel enough sleep when I wake. The day is dreary, grey and cold. I'm hungry, and the shops are mostly shut on Sunday. And lots of walking. But Vienna won me over with it's slowly warming sun and beautiful architecture everywhere, palaces and gardens. It's a long day wondering around. For some reason souvenir stores and some cafés and restaurants are allowed to open which is lucky for is coz we are out of food! The supermarkets we p...

Saturday 24 October We get up and have breakfast. The heavy clothes aren't quite dry, but we out them on anyway. At least they are clean. Eggs and tomatoes Chinese style. We pack our things and leave then in luggage storage. We catch the bus, but get off after only a few stops and decide to walk to the boat. It isn't a long walk and the day is nice.

The load is going to ta...

Wednesday 21 October We get up and have breakfast and I FaceTime with dad and my grandparents. It's Malcolm's 30th and I give him a little music box that plays happy birthday. Then we head to the tower to catch a tour bus. But it turns out there are a few, so we pick one that suits us. The first route we do is a little long and boring, but a few important things-like the old Berlin Wall memorial. The second route after lunch is more interesting and we see the ga...
