I had a couple more hours in Vienna on Wednesday before coming home. Unfortunately, it was raining. That didn’t stop me though!
First stop was to buy an authentic Sacher Torte. Apparently it is one of the most famous foods in Vienna. We’ll share it tonight as a family. It had better be good, because it cost 50 euros!
Next I went to the cathedral of St. Stephen. I love seeing these majestic works of architecture. When I see them I am simultaneously inspired by the devotion and faith of the people at that time as well as the engineering marvel to build something this large and ornate.
Then I took a few trains to get back to the airport followed by a direct flight back to Eindhoven and some trains back home.
I’m super grateful for Google Maps. Traveling would be so much more difficult without this kind of technology. This would have been so much harder 20 years ago (printing maps out beforehand) and even more so 40 years ago (buying maps?). Seriously, Google maps and Google translate are like my right and left crutch anytime I travel.
