| essentials for a long train trip |
Vienna was our shortest stay on our first month of travel. So we got straight to it after checking in our hostel with a walk around the biggest market in Vienna, Naschmarkt. Yes yet another market! The markets included stalls of meats, nuts, sweets, alcohol and clothing surrounded by little restaurants and cafes.

Our first night fell on Valentines Day and we went iceskating in front of the massive Town Hall (which looks more like a castle from a Disney movie). It was Arvi's first time ice-skating and he didn't stack once but Leah had a pretty big fall on the ground and now has a sweet bruise on her knee :(

With only one full day of exploring to do we planned our day the night before and set out quite early to walk around the snowy gardens of the SCHLOSS SCHÖNBRUNN palace. Then back into the old town to see some more Palaces and Cathedrals. It feels like every second building you see here is a palace or similar.
We also took refuge in the Butterfly museum where we got to walk in the warm rainforest enclosure and see some pretty butterflies and even some dead ones too!

It's great to see you're having so much fun! Where are your lederhosen and dirndl? The weather is really quite cool here for February 15' - lots of rain but everything is really green! Head reisu, xxKaili ja Alar
