Planes and "Wien" day 1

When we landed in Zurich pretty much everyone had for at least a doze off on the plane (that's what I was working off) and we had about an hour and half layover. Once we got together we had to go through security again into a small area with a couple shops, about 4 terminals, a bathroom and no air conditioning. Our solution to this was to try to hug the marble (or some other type of hard material) floors to cool off this method worked quite well and I actually got about a half am hour of sleep right on the floor.

The flight to Vienna was only about an hour so that wasn't so bad. Once we got there we met up with our final member who flew direct from NYC.

In Vienna we had to take public transportation and since we were going to be here for 4 days, we got a 72 hour pass. When we got on the train the man that came around to heck tickets, he told us that it was more money becuase the airport was outside the city limits. The conductor had to go around and collect from each one of us individually but once Ferdi realized that it would be more and we were close to our stop, he told the de people who were talking to him to just stall him. People started handing him American money, asking directions, and just standing in his way. It helped that at every stop he had to get off and start. Necking tickets again. Only 4 of 21 ended up actually paying.

We got to our hotel and it turns out we fill up the whole place so we are the only ones here....party. We only had a few hours until we were going out to a barge to go swimming in a pool on the Donau.

We obvioiovsly went and got some beer immeadiatly.

After some relaxing, unpacking and drinking we headed over to this "barge" not exactly knowing what to expect. Turn out the pool was awsome. A little cold but it had a bar so everything was ok. Every person went swimming surprising enough (we have some fussy girls that were sceptical).

Straight from the barge we went to dinner in a down town area, where that picture is from. The reseaunt was awesome. Totally brick. Made in 1100. Really traditional food not to mention we were like three stories below ground. Greta and I split a bottle of wine and then I had a beer with dinner. Wienschnitzle of course. After dinner, some people went out and some just came back. I came back.

Crash.
