Oh What a Beautiful Mornin'...

It was such a nice surprise to wake up and see the sun peeking through the curtain and feel the warmth! Hauling suitcases around and wearing coats made it a little hot, but it was worth it for that little bit of sun. The cool air felt even better because of it. The group checked out of the hostel at 10am and we headed to town to take last pictures of Salzburg in the sun on the bridge. Then it was off to the train station and on to Vienna! I napped on the train, so that was nice, and then we found out our hostel, Hostel Wombat, was super close to the station! Close= Less walking! Once we got to our hostel we also found out wifi is free AND our rooms are spacious AND we have wifi in our rooms!!! Today was just a good day. After this we went to go find some lunch in Vienna! All of us ended up with pizza. It was pretty good. It’s not like homemade, but I liked the crust.  We climbed the St. Stephans tower! All 343 steps! The view was beautiful. Then we went inside the cathedral and met up with the rest of the group. We took a tour of the CATACOMBS under St. Stephans!!!!!! It was creepy and cool at the same time!!! Once we were done in the catacombs we were all frozen because there is a bitter, biting wind here in Vienna. So we found a little café and got hot chocolate and whatnot. The group split into smaller groups after this and went exploring. My group of three went to Forever21 and walked around. We walked back into St. Stephans because we could and there was a mass starting. We waited a bit to see if they would play the organ but it seemed like they would only use bells. No sooner had we turned around to go, taken one or two steps, and the organ begins!!! So we spun around and walked back to the gate to listen and video/voice memo record it! It sounded heavenly. Then we went for dinner since it was after seven by the. We found a restaurant named Gutenburg and had Schnitzel and fries (well Annalise and I did. Hannah had onion soup)! I was in heaven. I may possibly have found my new favorite food. It was getting late so we figured it would be best to head back to the hostel, and then we bonded about different shows we watch. It was such a nice day! I can’t wait to see what tomorrow holds with our tour and concert!
