DAY 177 ST STEPHENS CATHEDRAL AND BEYOND IN VIENNA
More than just look up.
A down day. Every walk we attempted involved tears … even when ice cream was involved. Ezra and Viena must really be missing the toys of the last place. Sometimes I think I have the only children that cry around ice cream. Having 100 flavors to chose from all in German did not help. So, Ezra left in tears after 2 unsuccessful tries of ice cream accommodation. Oh well. Better luck next time or just try to find a place with only 2 flavors – chocolate and vanilla. I have been trying to exchange a rouge 22000 sri lankan rupees. Oops. We are without internet, so travel planning around transportation and housing has been more difficult. I run to the local Tmobile shop for free wifi. The bank of Austria also has free wifi but they do not exchange Sri Lankan Rupees. We do not need to use the internet for places to see in Vienna because they are all right here. We have been listening to Mozart and Strauss on the radio in the backpack as we walk around Vienna. this saves us around 100 Euros since now we do not need to go to the concert set up for tourists. The weather has been a combination of grey clouds blue skies and a chill in the air. We had breakfast in the sun on the street near the canal. We took a simple afternoon evening walk around Old Vienna. The children love playing in the tub. A big nice tub is great compared to the tiny shower stall we had in Rome.
