A whole 7 days in Vienna and I haven't written a thing about it! I'll try to do this day-by-day: We got there at the weekend. Our first night we didn't do much. Just chilled. Next night I think was Friday. Awesome night. Thought we might as well go out and have some drinks so we headed to a backpacker/student bar. Was quite small but pretty busy. A good vibe. We had a few and by about 12 the place was properly crowded. Got talking to a few local boys w...

Before we left Gastein we realised that our train tickets would very soon be running out. This meant that we'd have to stay in Vienna a good week or so to wait for new ones to come in. Which meant making sure that our next hostel was a decent one. And a good price too. As usual we searched the internet high and low. We chose Meininger. Its a big name hostel, they've got several around Europe and our Interrail tickets gave us a 10% discount. It also has a k...

Man, we've spent 3 days in the ski resort Bad Gastein. It wasn't exactly action-packed, but I still never managed to find the time to blog. So I'm writing this on MS Word in Vienna ready to copy/paste tomorrow morning. Or whenever really. But before a Vienna update anyway. We woke up in Salzburg on our last day with the sun shining and the snow melting. We weren't too sure what to make of the positive weather report the previous day, but things were surel...

So Salzburg! It hasn't disappointed. As I said earlier, its beautiful here. And it started snowing last night too which, in my opinion at least, has just improved the place. Katie was desperate to watch Sound of Music again to get the vibe going so we found it online last night. Gotta say I preffered old Julie as Mary Poppins but whatever. Was cool to see the place on film. We've seen some of the scenes first-hand ourselves now. The steps that the kids ho...

Germany's gone! And it couldn't come too soon to be honest. We'd been there a lot longer than intended. We were getting a little bored and it seemed like the weather was pushing us out as well. Dresden just got colder and colder as the days went on. So our last day there wasn't a huge bag of fun really. We need to get Katie some warm things if the weather keeps getting worse. A hat and scarf will do it. The last evening was cool though. Popped into a bar...
