Berlin, Prague and Vienna Day 9 (Contiki Day 7)
Woke up in the morning, packed and breakfasted. Said goodbye to groupmates leaving us in Prague.
We leave Prague at 0830!!
After about 2 hours ride, we reach a town of Kutna (I missed the accents in the word but too bad) where we visited a ossuary.. basically it is a church that alot of people wanted to be buried in because long long ago a monk went to where Jesus was crucified and collected some soil and then he spread it over the land where the church is. The interior of the church is decorated with human bones and it costs you about 60 Czech Korunas (about 3 euros) to get in. After that it was a lunch stop in town. Had Italian food lol.
After about another 3 hours travelling we reach a place right by the border and it's called Excalibur. It has like dragon models on the roof and knights out front. Rather cool actually. Basically it's a highway service stop. Not sure why our guide think it's pedo land / bat shit crazy.
Soon after that stop, we passed over the border into Austria!! Finally, I can read again! I was getting kinda pissy in Prague actually, cos I can't read the stuff there. >.<
After an hour or so, we finally pull into Vienna! Our guide even played Radetzky March to fit in with the feel lol. Checked into our hotel (bigger than Prague's but no free wifi -.-) and prepared to go to dinner.
For today's dinner, I ended up having the vegetarian option cos the main is beef. The vegetarian option is not really vegetarian by Taoist definitions lol. It has egg in it. So if you are a vegetarian who does not eat egg and you are in Europe, do check, They seem to tend to serve a lacto-ovarian instead. My dinner was some kinda cheese, egg mix. Not bad though.
Supposedly, our guide was gonna go to Prater park which is an amusement park and those who did not want to go could follow the coach back to the hotel... unfortunately the park was closed. However, if you are in the area you might want to know that there are street hookers near that park....
Looking forward to tomorrow, we get to go to a concert right here in Vienna :D
