Vienna

We left Venice by overnight train heading for Vienna. We didn't have a sleeper this time, opting for a couchette (an open bunk in a compartment of six bunks). We arrived to a chilly but sunny morning in Vienna. The hotel room in Vienna turned out to be the nicest of the trip, which is a lovely way to finish the trip. Vienna may well be the highlight of the trip as well. It looks to be a very lovely city, magnificent architecture, clean, friendly, gardens, easy to get around. I'm thinking we should have left more time to spend in this city.
