Food, glorious food
Wednesday, 30 May 2007
So Vienna, like most cities in Europe, is caked in art history. By this stage we were a bit museum'd out so decided to take a break from the usual tourist spots and explore the other thing that makes Austria, Austria - food.
We had heard on the bus when entering Vienna of a place called Centimeter where you can get a ridiculous amount of food, cheap as chips, and the food is served literally in wheel barrows and on swords. We had to check this out, and believe us, you do not leave here hungry. Six of us went along for a feed, first up - a two meter sausage followed by the sword - six schnitzels, six steaks, chicken wings, chilli con carne and enough potato to satisfy an irish family. This was all for just four of us, as the other two went for just a schnitzel and salad. Man were we full! We'd do it again though, and recommend that you check this place out when you are in Vienna.
The day after the meat feast, Remy, Greig, Em and I headed out on bikes for the day to check out Vienna. Our travels brought us to the fun park - one of the oldest in the world. We rocked on in and got the adrenaline pumping by jumping on a few rides. It was happy times until we encountered the bell. This ride made us all feel sick, especially as we went around twice - mad monday the operator told us afterwards. Never again! Imagine being spun around in a circle until everything was dizzy (gravitron styles), slowing down thinking it was over, then whammo! round two. We spent the next hour at a park whilst our stomachs returned to normal.
All and all, Vienna was fun. We may not have done the usual sights, but had a good time with great people.
