Our Last City Together


The dynamic duo of Sean and Seth is slowly writing their last chapter. After a full day of travel, 17 hours to be exact, and about two more hours of trying to find a place with no map, no address, and no internet, we ended up at our accomodation in Vienna. Vienna will be the last city on our agenda together. After a nice walk around Vienna we realized that it is an incredibly beautiful place and we could not care less. I don't mean this in a disrespectful way, but Seth and I have both become a bit burnt out on being tourists. We took the "Red Bus City Tour" which condenses Vienna's nearly two thousand year history into an hour and a half. This was perfect for us. Short, sweet, and to the point, we were able to snap some pictures, see some sights, and listen to a shit load of Mozart through our handy dandy headset that also gave us interesting tidbits about the sights of Vienna.

Seth and I have both vowed to return to Vienna and Budapest to give them a second chance since we were not on our tourist attention span had been severly depleted by Prague, Berlin, and Stockholm. I do hope to stay in places with internet access, however. I am typing this in a McDonalds and the guy next to Seth and I is chewing louder than a pack of hyenas. We came 8000 miles away to sit in a McDonalds. They have free wifi, though, so thanks Ronald, we appreciate it. Luckily we still have our inimitable travel companions Rick Steve and Arthur Frommer guiding us. It is off to try some vegetarian Viennese cuisine, then take a stoll along the Danube back to our place.
