we way no longer Hungray, and totally Czeched out of Krtekland, and it was off to our final destination in our European holiday…

Vienna

first thing first, Vienna is actually named Wien, as in hot dog Wieners

or as in Wienerschnitzel (the city is HOME to it, duh)

but not as in Tafelspitz or Mark Spitz

wonder if they have an AM radio station called 1010 Wiens.  anywho, Wien is in Austria, which shouldn’t be confused with Australia

and it never would, with such an awesome language in use like German!

although ‘Gloria’ is a beautiful song in ANY language

but not sure what Chuck sauce is like in any language

but pizza in every language is ‘pizza’ (although we didn’t have pizza in Europe, cause why would we??)

cause when in Wien, do as the Wieners do – #Wienning

now Wien doesn’t have Eastern European charm like Hungary and Czech Repub do, but Austria never had to deal with all that standing in line for bread and sharing stuff.  it remained a cosmopolitan place, for centuries, and remains so

where they have palatial palaces!!!

with selfie points – how modern!

round we go!

too even more schmancy cafés!

and schmancy chocolatiers!

and to one of the most unique structures I’ve ever seen - KunstHausWien – a museum created by the artist himself - Friedensreich Hundertwasser!!!!!!!!!

tiley smilerus!

even the bathrooms are funky fresh!

and he also designed other buildings that aren’t his own museumz!!!

 

like the Hundertwasserhaus

it’s like a Smurf village for humans!!

but everything we did wasn’t juss fatrsy artsy culture stuff

of course we hit up grocery stores to see what was a brewin’

although we actually did try this – Almdudler –  which is basically Austrian ginger ale – and once bitten, forever smitten

and apparently gefilte aint just for fishes.  it’s a thing, but I guess they go with the less Jewish ‘gefüllte’ which translates to ‘stuffed’.  but however it’s spelled, I’m g’scared of anything gefilted/gefüllted

then it was off to check out the famous Naschmarkt 

where there’s kraut by the barrel!!!

oh, you think we forgot to go to McDonalds, and McLook at their McMenü?

or miss seeing the Doc Brown Opera - 88 Meilen pro Stunde????

so long Austria, and Europe – never lose that old world Epcot charm, or the MUSTaches
