Sunday:
The plan -- train to Melk, bike from Melk to Krems, train from Krems back to Vienna. Except there was a land slide and the entire train station shut down. So there goes that plan. Uh oh. In Austria, almost everything shuts down on Sundays. Store, restaurants, etc. A few museums that cater to tourists are open on Sunday, but not much more than that. Compound that fact on a rainy day, and we were surprisingly short on ideas of things to do. Except homework, of course, but who wants to do that? So after spending the whole morning at the train station, we got lunch and split up for a while. Hello nap time! Around 4, John, Scott, and I met up and basically wandered around near the river. After walking approximately 1.5 hours, we finally found a place to rent the city bikes (Vienna's awesome bike share program bikes. The bikes aren't the best, but the price is right!), and we biked on the Danube Island for about two hours. A great way to end the weekend.
Monday:
We toured Schonbrunn Monday morning, walked around the palace gardens, and went to class. We all went home relatively early to do some homework.
Now for the pictures.
A random park (Donau Park) that we stumbled upon while wandering.
I don't have any pictures from our bike ride, but when we found a zip line on the island (mid-bike ride) we couldn't pass it up!
I will NEVER get over how many men wear capris, socks, and sandals.
Our whole group at Schonbrunn.
Mama and Daddy joined us!
Goofing off.
