Vienna, Austria - Day 14

Here we are in the great city of Vienna. We started off with a city tour by bus to see the main sights and get aclimated to the layout of the city. Once we did a complete loop, the bus driver dropped us off at St Peters church ( the 3rd one we've seen on this trip). We are on the heart of the old town. It's busteling with tons of tourists. The town has changed a lot. Still an old Church, still the opera house, still the palace with the Royal Lipizaner Stallions.... But now you also see... Tiffanys, Salvadore Ferragamo, Channel, Louis Vitton, and many more. It's like Rodeo Drive! No shopping for me here! Guess I'll go see some horses, tour another church, and..... Why not.... Eat another chocolate pastry with coffee......Can u spell...BUZZZZZZ...... I don't need to sleep. We made it for the last tour of the day of the old Opera House which has been completly rebuilt. Now.. how did she tell us to get back to the ship??  Subway? Which Way?  Well, we figured it out and we took the subway back to the ship to get ready for dinner and the show tonight. The show was a Mozart & Straus symphony with some opera singers and a couple dancing ballet. It
was nice but the room was hot and jammed with people. It was not what we expected but overall, ok. I wouldn't recommend it. It was one of the excursions that cost additional money. We are all going to bed now. We set sail for Bratislava, Slovakia at 2am. It's best to get to sleep or drink more wine and pass out before the ship sails and makes more noises. Gnight!
