I am writing this a day late, but I would like to start from the beginning of the trip. Anyway, yesterday I arrived in Vienna from Heathrow at about 11, and was at the hostel by one. The hostel, The Ruthensteiner turned out to be quite nice. I couldn't get in touch with Charles initially, but then realized that the country code had been written incorrectly. He arrived at 3:30, and we went to center to two musems. The first one was the Albertina, which was the worst museum I have ever been to (outside of Cuba). All of the paintings were copies, and the excibition was a set of boring photos. Thankfully, the Leopold museum of modern art was much better, and featured an excellent collection of Schiele paintings.
We then went out to dinner at an excellent restaurant, chosen because it was busy. The restaurant is apparently famous for its schitzel, which I ordered. It was very thin and deep-fried, quite different from the stuff I get at home. It was delicious however, and I would definetly return to the restaurant. We then went to Cafe Havelka and relaxed there a while before returning to the hostel.
