Day 5 - Vienna & Wachau Valley - 27 Sep 2016 Today was our last day in Austria. We got up at 7am, prepared ourselves and got ready for breakfast at the hotel at about 8am. Breakfast was amazing; it even had champagne which was very rare. Its omelette (with ham and cheese) was awesome too. As an alternative to Budapest, we joined "The Grape Escape Tour", organised by Pedal Power. As we were still early before the appointed time at 945am, we walked from o...

Day 4 - Salzburg & Vienna - 26 Sep 2016 We woke up at 730am in the morning. As there was no plan for the day - except knowing that we would be heading back to Vienna from Salzburg - we dilly-dallied and checked out of our hotel at 845am. We searched for a nice breakfast place but as it was probably still early, hardly any shops were open. And so, Macdonald crossed our mind and knowing that there was one nearby, we settled our breakfast at Macdonald. The ...

Day 3 - Salzburg - 25 Sep 2016 It was an eventful day but an extremely exhausting one. We had our breakfast at the hotel. Nothing much to shout about - just some typical buffet-styled international varieties that offer scrambled egg, bacon, sausages, bread etc. Next, we walked to the beautiful garden at Mirabellcastle. As it was before 9am, there were only a few people, and perhaps some tourists, and it made photo-taking quite a breeze. We joined the Fraule...

Day 2 - Hallstatt - 24 Sep 2016 Both of us got up at 5am in the morning. Somehow, we couldn't sleep anymore but we knew we had a good approximately 8 hours of sleep. And so, we decided to take the earlier train to Salzburg instead of our original planned time. We took an Uber car to Hauptbahnhof station which cost us EUR 5. At the station, we managed to get the train tickets to Salzburg with the departure time at 655am. With only about 20min before the trai...

Day 1 - Vienna - 23 Sep 2016 Our 2nd honeymoon, sans kids. After surviving at least 15 hours of flight (Singapore to Zurich to Austria), we arrived at the Austrian airport at about 12 noon. We took a cab to our hotel - Austria Trend Hotel Europa Wien - which cost us an exorbitant amount of EUR 45. Half an hour later, we reached the hotel and thank God, we were allowed to check-in to our room. The first and the best thing for the missus to do was to tak...
