Vienna, Austria (back again)

 


Today we returned to our VRBO from Hallstatt.  Austrian trains are incredibly (certainly by US standards) punctual.  I got an email a few weeks ago warning me that today’s train would be arriving 4 minutes later than expected. “Please accept our apologies for the inconvenience”.  

Our return to Vienna is in three parts: a ferry, a regional train, and a bullet train.  There is exactly 10 minutes between each leg.  Deb is having no part in that.  We take 8:45 ferry instead of the 10:15, we take the 10:04 regional train instead of the 10:32.  So we have time for a walk along the shore before the first train and a pastry in a local bakery before the bullet train.  And Deb can live with that.


I think that it would be nice to just eat in the VRBO but it’s Sunday and the Supermarket is closed.  We stop at our local cafe for a Beer and a Lillet,  pull up the menu for the food stand across the street on Google, translate the unfamiliar words, put on our big boy pants, and order Chicken Kabap Bowls.  Success!  We have take out!
