Vienna day 4

After posting yesterday, I noticed a pair of British girls struggling to figure out Settlers of Catan (my new favorite game since learning it at Rag, and the game I had beaten Alex in the night before, and had intended to do a rematch) so I coached them through a game before they naively asked me to play in the second game. Me being me, I brutally slaughtered them with ease despite their gang up against me (muhahaha). An older british gentleman then sat down to tell us all about his life, which was quite interesting, and then between the two of us, suggest the best route to experience Vienna in only 1 day. The British girls then got me to tell them all about Prague, they're next destination. So, after attempting to escape for a number of hours, I was finally able to around 3am...

I was supposed to meet up with the crew about 10, but thanks to the previous night's hijinx, didn't make it over till 11:30, much to the crew's worry, as my door was apparently locked. So Alex and I embarked on more cool shit, while Angela and Adam once again opted for a full day of lame. So they got off the metro before us at the the corner of lame street and lame avenue. Meanwhile, we went up on a giant ferris wheel (with the requisite copious picture taking). We then attempted to navigate (no street signs) towards a funky apartment complex, where each person has painted/sculpted their apartment differently. We then continued our broken navigation towards a supposed glockenspiel, grabbing some Viennese currywurst on the way. It was larger, had more curry powder, and had the ketchup on the side as compared to Berlin, overall: satisfying, but not as enjoyable as the Berliner. We never found the clock, but managed to stumble upon a number of new churches along the way(#s 83-87). We then slowly navigated over to the Stadt park for some relaxation. It was nice and quiet (though all of Vienna is surprisingly quiet) and decidedly unmetal. After so much relaxing, Alex and I agreed to head back to the hostel for a mid-afternoon nap to cope. On the way, we stopped to gorge ourselves on ice cream (only my second this trip!) After a few hours of napping/relaxing, we decided to relax some more, blogging while chit chatting with the recently less lame Amgela and Adam, whom had decided they wanted to hang out with some cool kids for a change!
