Our trip with friends continued when Brian, Emily, Jon, and I headed to Vienna. This trip allowed us to cross two more countries off of our list: Austria and Slovakia. =) We flew in and out of Bratislava, Slovakia because of Ryan Air - it's only about an hour drive outside of Vienna so it worked well.
Vienna was a beautiful city with lots of German influence - that's always nice for me because I feel comfortable with the language and culture. We had less than 48 hours to experience everything, but I think we did a good job.
We went to the famous churches, the Royal Palace, and the Museum of Natural History. We also did a tram tour around the city. One of our favorite parts though was visiting the local food market. There were tons of restaurants and food stands as well as vendors selling fresh fruit, veggies, fish, meats, etc. We highly recommend you always try to find these in cities - you get a real taste of the country's culture and get really good food at great prices (you just have to be a little adventurous!) =)
And so we came back to Bury St. Edmunds where our trip with friends ended. To our wonderful friends who came to visit, we LOVED having you and had so much fun traveling with you! You all are welcome back anytime! =) And for those of you who haven't visited yet, we hope we made you jealous enough to want to come and have an adventure of your own. Hope to see more friends soon! ;)
