In order to get there, you first need to know which word to use.
In the Czech Republic, it's Vien.
So, I braved the public metro system and found what felt like the last bed in a pretty nice, and pretty popular backpacker's hostel.
Yesterday, I explored the city. I took in the city centre, and wandered around the parliament.
I toured through the Museum of Ancient Instruments (that's not the technical term, but that's the general idea). This was ok, although, I toured through one in New York in April, and frankly, if I'm not allowed to play them, I'm not sure it matters whether I can see them up close or just in pictures.
I sat in a park for a while and then ventured on to find Hundertwasser Haus. The lady at the hostel in Prague told me that the only reason she would return to Vienna would be to see this, so I decided that I should at least take a look. It was a nice walk along the water and very exciting to see something that looked as if were put together haphazardly.
Not being an art historian, or anyone that's ever been able to put art into words very eloquently, I simply encourage you to Google 'Hundertwasser', it will be worth your extra 30 seconds.
Then, I happened upon a church nearby, and managed to catch the Liturgy of the Eucharist.
Today I headed back to Munich.
Along the way, I met a nice American who spared me some company after we arrived in the city and we had a beer and some apple streusel while I waited for Lucia.
Surprisingly, it's not difficult to find someone in Munich Hauptbanhof, and I quickly located Lucia!
We went to a splendid biergarten for a drink with her friend Tobias. It was absolutely idyllic just enough sun, a little breeze and canopied by trees.
And there were men in Leiderhösen.
Auf Weidersehen!
