Vienna - Final Day

Yesterday in Vienna we went to the Jewish Museum, which was quite depressing. It was however an important museum to visit as it educated me on the plight of the community in the run-up to the war. Then we went Trzeniewski, which is a deli that sells mini sandwiches that are quite tasty. Unfortunately due to poor German, I had to point and choose, and really didn't know what I was eating. Afterwards we headed off to St. Stephen's cathdral, as Stuart and I were eager to see the embalmed organs of the Habsburg emperors in the crypt. Unfortunately, they were in metal urns that we were not allowed to peak inside. We did however see mass graves filled with corpses from a bout of the black plague during the 18th century. After the uplifting tour of the crypts we headed off to the Kunsthaus museum, which was designed by this weird Austrian artist Hundertwasser. The floors were not flat, and a fountain on the main floor had water going up instead of down. the museum was near the business center of Vienna which is on an island in the Danube, so we decided to head there afterwards, which involved a long walk over the Danube. On the way, we stopped at a grocery store and sampled sour milk cheese, which really was quite dreadful. After spending a short while in this area (there wasn't really much to do here), we headed back to the center to eat. We went to the same schintzel restaurant that I had previously gone to with Charles. Following our dinner we returned to the hostel and enjoyed some drinks in the hostel's bar.
