Vienna day 3

After posting, we went into town to the palace and gardens area (we are staying on the western edge of the main city). We walked around to see Parliment, the Rathaus, and the palace opera house. We then wandered into the gardens next to all of that. After relaxing in the shade a bit, we headed into the palace and its treasury to check out the holy roman jewels. They were very sparkly, but dimly lit. So after playing around with the camera/ getting blinded by the bling, we walked to the other gardens on the other side of the palace. At this point, Angela and Adam wanted to go to the lame music museum, while the supercool kids (Alex and I) wanted to see some dead bodies. So we headed over to the Stefansdom in hope of checking out the catacombs. The church was open this time so we wandered around and found the catacombs, but we knew of a cheaper and better Imperial crypt nearby, so we just went there. On the way, we ran into a street performance of break dancing. After being entertained, we made it to the crypt. It was very metal. We then headed to a modern art museum we had scoped out earlier. After having our minds blown by the modernism. We then headed to meet up with Angela and Adam, stopping at a big fountain that seemed like a tribute to the Soviet liberators. We then rode the tram out to an absolutely massive cemetery which has a bunch of composers in it. We found Beethoven's grave, and took the necessary copious quantity of pictures. We then headed to the neighboring graveyard for Mozart's grave, only to discover that they had closed 20 minutes before we got there. After taking some pictures of me pretending to be angry/ breaking in, we headed back toward the hostel/ dinner/ slash!
