Megan and I woke up in enough time to leave the flat by 11 (or shortly thereafter) and went to catch the orange line to schrobrumm (the castle) only to find out it was the green line we wanted- we got to the right line and headed to the castle. Bought the classic pass (I got the student discount again) and got an audiotape tour through the mansion, we then visted the garden and the panoramic view atop of the gate and the rear end of the castle overlooking the grounds. We got lost in the hedge labyrinth and then found our way to the zoo. They had 2 sorts of flamingos and polar bear, orangutans, spider monkeys, american biso
n and even a porcupine (they waddle as I learned in alaska). Megan grabbed fries and I just ate a protein bar! After the zoo we visited the overlook garden (and did everything we paid for) by this time it was 400 pm and we were tired of walking! We headed to the flat and found a bar with authentic austrian food on happy hour! Checked our emails (we were awaiting 2 CS replies) and were off to the restaurant. I had the weiner schnitzal and megan had turkey cordon bleu. The weiner schnitzal was quit
e tastey as were the 3 beverages that accompanied it. We then headed off to the city center to meet up with Luis-Alberto. He brought us to a beach bar on the canal (no oceans in vienna so they deal by bringing in fake sand and setting up next to the dirty danube canal). After meeting a couple more CSers and his roommate ralph- of LA is from Nicaragua and studying in vienna, we went to a coffee house before megan was ready to turn into bed. We both packed quickly and efficiently and passed out.
