This morning we caught an early train from Prague to Vienna. Our first order of business (after wandering around looking for the hostel in the rain) was to get some lunch! We went to a nearby restaurant where I had a delicious goulash!
After lunch, we wandered around the city--exploring the old part of the city and eventually ending up in the market after a conversation with a incredibly nice Austrian lady. We walked into a store so that one of the girls could buy something and struck up a conversation with the owner of the shop. She gave us great advice of things that she recommended that we see and do--not just the main tourist gigs!
The Naschmarkt (from the German for "to nibble") is Vienna's largest open air market. We stopped at the market to pick up some fresh fruit and vegetables to make a salad for dinner. It was really neat to see the market, but it was also a little depressing. I've gotten accustomed to getting amazing fresh fruit and vegetables in Spain for really cheap price. At Naschmarkt, some of the fruits were almost double the price I would pay in Alicante--probably since most of the fruits and vegetables imported to other countries in Europe actually come from Spain.
Later, we went to Stephansdom--Vienna's main cathedral. It's certainly an impressive site with it's roof! The roof is tiled with different colored tiles and designs--much like the cathedrals we saw in Wroclaw, Poland.
