Vienna & Venice..

Despite the delay in LGW I arrived with a heavy landing in Vienna before too long. The snow situation didn't seem at all as sever as had been made out. A few trains later and I had met up with the friend who I was to stay with. My time in Vienna was mostly savouring the culture and foods; such as Schnitzel, Sacher Torte and various sausages.


During my time there I also managed to meet a friend from University who was also in Vienna. As part of a University trip we made a very hectic trip to Venice for a day.

The transport there and back was a sleeper train laden with international students and as much alcohol as one could drink; oh, and there was a party carriage.

My friends and I held up the British end in various drinking challenges. We also played drinking games in a host of different european languages.

The day in Venice involved recovering from the night's painful hangovers. Lots of sightseeing and lots of Ice Cream.


The train back left in the evening; with another onslaught on limitless drinking. More drinking games ensued. The remaining few days saw the rest of the sightseeing and the trip back to the UK.

I have just under a week of holidays left; now to make the most of them. Tomorrow Bristol..
