One small step to Vienna

Today, we head out to Vienna. But before that, we had to go to the station to make a reservation for our seats. This would be the first for us, so we weren’t sure what to do. Luckily, there was another train station near our hotel within walking distance that allowed reservations to be made. We made it there and that was that. The day started out wet. Lucky for us that it was the day we would leave. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have a good time walking around in the rain.

We took a taxi from the hotel, which this time we made sure we wouldn’t get swindled. The taxi was a special service by the hotel, so the price was priced correctly. We got to the station, then to our train where we got into one of the rooms in the train. There, we met an old Czech man, who had some odor issue. Whenever he left the room to go to the bathroom, Sheilla took the opportunity and sprayed her perfume. I wondered till now if he had noticed. I held my laughter inside. At any rate, he was actually a nice gentleman. He talked a lot, and sometimes a little more than I hoped for. Because I hoped to used the time during the train ride to write my blog, but he decided to chat about Prague, his hometown, America, the train ride, his family, his work, his music which he played from his laptop to us, and more with very very broken English. Nonetheless, he was friendly and just liked to make friends. After he got out of the train at his stop, Sheilla and I watched a movie, Amelie on my laptop until we have arrived in Vienna.

In Vienna, we had to take a taxi from Südbahnhof station to Westbahnhof station. It was already dark, so we hardly could take any pictures. Once at Westbahnhof station, we went to the lounge area where we were allowed to be in, since we were 1st class passenger for the overnight train. We had dinner from Mr. Lee fast food restaurant in the station. It was so good that we took an extra plate to go.
