One of the group picture I like. This is taken in a palace area in Vienna, Austria. 25th-26th June 2005.
This trip is a bit funny. There are 10 people in the photo. But, we don't go there all together. Half went by car, and another half by plane. I was supposingly to go by plane. But suddenly, there is a training to be attend on the Monday. So, I have to change my plan. Still going but not by plane, by car. I nearly not able to go. Luckily at last, we made it to go by car.
The journey took almost the same hour with Nice trip, 5hrs. We parked our car near the youht hostel, and took the underground to go around the town.
Vienna (or Wien) is a beautiful place with nice weather. The summer is earlier in Wien. By the time we were there, the weather is a bit hot and with a longer day. So, we enjoyed very much our trip.
In this trip, I
-went to the Danube river, the second longest river in Europe, in which the river crosses >3countries : Austria, Germany, Hungary, Serbia, Slovakia and Romania. And the cities that I been where the river pass are Wien and Budapest.
-ate fresh made apple strudel. :) There was a demonstration of Apple Strudel in the palace area. One day, I will make my own apple strudel.
-saw a lot of Mozart Chocolate shops around the town area. Mozart is an Austrian from Salzburg. To get to this place, it's still a distance. Since we cannot go to his hometown, we bought his chocolate. :)
-didn't manage to watch an orchestra here. But as I know, Austria is full of orchestra hall. There are a lot of musician from this country.
One more interesting thing is on our way to/fro Wien, we passed through Alps. On the way, I can see a lot of beautiful mountain with 'white head'. The top are mostly snow. Very nice scenaries.
I miss the trip. I miss the fun we had.
