Inspired by Gaudi?


We walked over to the Hundertwasser museum. We didn't go in the museum, but peeked in the garden. The architecture is really strange, modern, like Gaudi. We then went to his village. It was really cool, a little place inside with natural light and nice little stores and a art gallery/shop. After that we walked back to the museum to eat lunch. Nice, but how are you meant to eat when your chair can't sit on the floor properly!? (The floor was kind of curvy!)



Even thought these bathrooms might be advertised in all of the tourist books it wasn't worth the money. If you want to see cool bathrooms, just go eat lunch at the museum. The bathrooms are cooler there (just if you were wondering-they still are in the style of Hundertwasser)

Ghost town Prater

The next day, the Monday we went to the amusement park in the center of Vienna (Prater). Well, it was more like a fun fair. You paid for each ride individually. Because the weather was a bit yucky and it was a Monday, there was nobody there! It was a ghost town! Less than half the rides were open and on both the rides that Ashlynn and I went on, we were the only people. We wanted to go on the high swings, (when I say high, I mean REALLY high!) but it wasn't open. 

Ashlynn and I did go on two other rides, both of them roller coasters.......

Raindrops on Roses

We came across a really big public garden with lots of roses. Great place for photos!

Vrai Vienna

We wandered around the center of Vienna after that. We mostly stayed on the shopping streets. We ate lunch at an Italian restaurant then continued to walk. There was an orchestra playing in one of the squares and we stopped to listen for awhile. The conductor looked really happy. We listened for awhile then kept on walking. We passed another concert going on, but this one was rock. 


p.s. Vrai is true in French!! :)

Awesome Marionette

 After the church a group of people drew our attention. We went over and saw a man with a Marionette. It was so cool. He made the puppet play the piano and when ever someone put money in the case he made the piano-playing puppet stick it's eyes out!!


Then he asked a little boy to come and sit next to the puppet. It was really funny! The kid was the same size as the puppet!

The top of Vienna

We got up around 5 to catch a bus to the airport to get a plane to Vienna, Austria. When we got there we went to our hotel and took a nap. When we woke up it was thundering and pouring! We waited then went to the center. We went in the cathedral and took an elevator up to the top of the steeple. 

Here are some views from the top.....
