December 07 Travel Log - Vienna (1)Winter is coming, the land of Scandinavia became sunless and freezing. The opening line of a story is always like this: It was a dark and stormy night...
One day after such a night is December 1st, and we began our trip to Vienna, Austria. We took the ryanair flight, the famous low fare flight in europe. We arrived on time, very lucky, eh. On our to the hostel, we happened to find that there is nothing to check the voucher for traffic, it is somewhere communism. Anyway, as civilized people from socialism country, we bought the tickets all our way. The Hostel Lauria located in an inconspicuous 100 years old building. It was out the check-in time when we arrived, and the keys are just left on the front door in a small envelope. The trust among people, so impressed. After a short break, we went on the way to the downtown Wien. The 'old town', or city center, is encircled by the 'Ring' road, which is also the location of many famous old buildings. Vienna has hosted the Habsburg court for centuries, from the Holy Roman Empire, then the capital of the Austrian Empire and later of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and the Third Reich. It's a city famous for its history and also proud of music. It's the homeland of Johann Strauss, Franz Schubert and where Amadeus Mozart earned his great honor. However, I not good at either histoty or classic music, it's really a pity or waste. We walked along the Karnter Strase, the central mall in vienna. The street was decorated with kinds of lights, laser and projector, so beautiful and luxury. And there were several Swarovski on the street, the crystal bear is really lovely. Our wonderful night came to climax when we arrived at the St. Stephan's Cathedral. I don't know how to describe this impressive vision. Colourful lights projected on the gigantic building, gorgeous, spectral, mysterious and ghastgul. The first day ended with kabab. I loved it since wandering at Fudan, and it seems more delicious after such a long way. 呵呵呵呵,一个月没写了,刚从维也纳回来,先上点照片,游记慢慢写。 |
