Mel and I arrived in Vienna, Austria on a cold and dreary Wednesday afternoon. We checked into our hostel and went into town to do a little shopping.
The next day Mel and I visited the Summer Palace or Schönbrunn Palace. It is a former imperial 1,441-room summer residence built in 1642 for the Hapsburg family; an Austrian/Hungarian empire who ruled much of Europe up until World War 2. The Palace itself was very elaborate and the surrounding gardens resembled those of Versailles.
Across the road from our hostel was one of Vienna's most famous markets; Naschmarkt.
Here you can buy fresh fruit and vegetables from around the world, exotic herbs, cheese, baked goods, meats and seafood. There are also a lot of small restaurants and stalls which offer clothes and accessories. Mel an I certainly took advantage of this opportunity, shopping for a range of ingredients and cooking meals back at our hostel. If ever in Vienna Naschmarkt is well worth checking out.
On Friday we visited Vienna's Museum of Modern Art which housed a Salvador Dali exhibition. It was interesting to say the least.
We grabbed some vodka on the way home and planned for a big night out. Instead I ended up forcing Mel to drink water from a tea cup before she passed out at the hostel.
