Day 86 - Wien II

Shiyang brought me around Wien today. Told him it doesn't matter, but he said "If not, I have nothing to do leh."

Cathedral at Vienna University.

Wien doesn't seem to have problems with wires flying across its streets. Reminds me of Krung Thep Mahanakorn in someways. Hehe.

Garden at Hofburg Palace. I went in to visit the Imperial Apartments and the Silverware collection. Too bad the Sisi Museum was closed. The audioguide is free, so do take it if you visit there!

Some of the Silverwares owned by the Habsburg Dynasty.

Hofburg Palace.

I must say the museum is very impressive. Without the free audioguide, I think I'll look at the various silverware and ceramics as "nice lor" without understanding its history, significance and how it reflects the changing taste over the Habsburg Dyansty.

Lunch. Schnitzelshammuel. Schnitzel is basically Austrian Chicken cutlet. Sounds special, but taste like any fried chicken cutlet to me. :P

Open your own doors at the metro! More drastic than the one in Spain. Of course you don't pull the door all the way. One sharp quick pull of the handle will activate some spring mechanism for the door to be opened fully on its own.

We travelled on to Schönbrunn Palace, the Summer Palace of the Habsburg Dynasty.

Easter market! But things are so blardy expensive.

The entrance to the Schönbrunn Palace.

So toursity right.

I know I'm not suppose to take photos inside the palace, but I can't resist this one. This ballroom is just too beautiful.

Everyone else is lying down, except me.

Overlooking Wien.

We headed back to central Wien and walked around.

Mozart's house

Rathause in the evening. We were waiting for signs of activity, cause there seems to be some bike fest at the plaza. Turns out nothing much, and we went back.

But I just can't get enough of the Rathaus!
