So our train from Munich to Vienna was pretty nice. We had a whole first class cabin all to ourselves. We got into Vienna and walked over to one of the two Wombat (company name) Hostels and hoped that the one we had picked was the correct one. Luckily for us, it was.
We checked in and went up to our room and found a French Canadian asleep in one of the four beds. He woke up, welcomed us to Vienna, then went back to sleep.
So we unpacked quickly and went out in search of Viennese food.
We found a "late night cafe" (read 'diner') recommended by the woman behind the desk and headed over there for some Steigl beer and wienerschnitzel the size of your head.
It was quite good.
We passed out and booked our trip to Prague before dropping our bags off at a second station, the one from which we would leave for Prague. From there we headed to the palace grounds for a viewing of the Botanical gardens and the palaces and artwork which they contained. We spend a good part of the afternoon walking around the palace grounds, grabbing some Middle eastern food and a few beers before it was time for our trip to Prague.
Upon arriving, we checked into our hotel, after deftly avoiding at least 2 cabbies hellbent on getting us to take their cabs the 4 blocks from the train station to the hotel, and we walked out on the town to find a place to get some food from with a block or two of our hotel.
We find a place that served Chinese and had a pretty filling dinner with drinks for about $30.
We pass out and get ready for the next day in Prague, this time with daylight.
