Last day in Munich and Vienna

I had no set time for a reason to Vienna because of my rail pass so I decided to do a Third Reich tour around Munich. It was interesting to see the beginnings and locations of events leading up to the creation of the Nazi party. I'm really excited to do the same tour in Berlin and see examples and locations of Nazi Germany after 1933-ish.

I arrived in Vienna around 7 pm and headed to the hostel. The desk man told me about the film festival going on so I decided to go there to grab dinner. I ended up sharing a table with a group of people from Jordan but who were living in Austria. They gave me some inside scoop on the city. What to try and where to get it.

The next day I walked around the city (okay... I mostly took the metro) and expired all the tourist attractions. I spent about 3 or 4 hours at the museum quarters, the area where they keep all the museums. I also visited the castle. Because it was Sunday late afternoon I want able to go inside but I did enjoy walking around the gardens for a while.

My last morning I went to Hausswadter Haus. It was really cool to have such an artist building just outside of city center.

I got to Prague last night and ended up walking around the pedestrian streets. I had dinner from a street vendor. It wasn't my favorite, but I managed. It was potato dumplings with with pork and sauerkraut. The flavor was there, but the texture wasn't.

Today I start my exploration of the city. 

Until then,
Kristin
