AUSTRIA vienna (yes, all the recordings on transport sound like arnold)
yay for vienna! i was really starting to lose interest in sight-seeing when this city rejuvenated my appetite for travel. the sight-seeing here (especially the parliament building) here is AMAZING, the mozart chocolate is AMAZING, and the crocs store is AMAZING! conveniently, my thongs broke so i had to search for new ones. . .and found a pair at the crocs store across the street from the hostel. (i swear it was meant to be) ya the sandals are ugly but when they are all you can wear after surgery you end up loving them. and now i have the thong version! since then, i have worn my ultra-comfortable crocs almost every day!
one of my favorite sights was the ´zentralfriedhof´, which is a huge cemetery a bit outside of the city. with extravagant family tombstones, parts of it reminded me of the recoleta cemetery in buenos aires…with trees! damn how i miss trees. anyway, the layout is also unique in that there are general lots, and then the special sections. for example, there is a section for important politicians, artists, and musicians. this last section was my favorite since beethoven and schubert are buried here. . .kind of weird but i definitely took a bunch of photos of the graves.
continuing with the australia theme, i stayed at the ´wombat´hostel in vienna. it was probably my least favorite animal at the bredl´s, (the wildlife/reptile park i volunteered at in australia) but i chose it since the amenities sounded alright. it was actually pretty cool, except for the price which was over €20. . .and NOT ok when you are running low on money. but there was a bar downstairs and the atmosphere was chill so i would recommend it if you are ready to throw down some dinero.
