Day 1: We drove. It was kind of a boring and flat landscape - the non-mountainous part of Austria. We were pleasantly surprised by our apartment room. Very nice and spacious. Decent location. We spent the rest of that day checking out the old part of Vienna. Even took a horse and buggy ride!
Day 2: Spent most of the day exploring the old part of Vienna some more. It's a big area with a lot to see. We also went to Prater Park and enjoyed the amusement park. The weather turned beautiful that afternoon. Dawn did a bit of shopping, I did a bit of sitting outside in the sun. It was nice. That evening, we went and saw Nada Surf in concert. Very good show and they sounded great.
Day 3: We caught the boat early for Bratislava, Slovakia and had a great hour + long ride down the Danube. We spent that day exploring the city, a very beautiful city too, and really enjoyed our time there. The weather was once again spectacular. Oh, and we found an AWESOME mexican restaurant, the best we've found in Europe, in Bratislava of all places. The boat ride back was great and we spent a lot of time out on the deck taking in the scenery. We spent the evening wandering around Vienna some more. A great day.
Day 4: All of the walking and travel from the previous days really did my gout and my back in. We ended up enjoying a nice breakfast at our hotel and then packing up and heading out early. The drive back was pleasant enough and we got home at an early hour which was nice.
Overall, this was a great trip. Vienna and Bratislava are great cities and I'd recommend seeing them if you're ever in the area. Now, we want to explore a bit more to the east and are checking in to Budapest, Hungary for a future trip.
