Vienna – Day 3

Today most Sogeti people left for home. Lynn and I stayed an extra to day to see more of the city. If you travel 4,000 miles to get to a place, you should know it well when you leave, right?

Our travels today took us through the heart of the city for a quick lunch stop at Cafe de l’Europe. Vienna sausage with Chips is awesome. After lunch we took a taxi out to the Schobrunn Palace. This was home to Marie Antoinette’s parents, Franz Joseph and Maria Theresa. The Palace was spectacular. It explains a lot about why the Palace at Versailles in France is so spectacular. Marie Antoinette had to out do her mom!

After our visit to the Palace, we traveled over to the “Christmas Market“. The market just opened this weekend. It felt like the “Taste of Cincinnati”; the people were packed in everywhere. It was hard to just walk. Every ten feet what another shop selling hand crafted knick-knacks. While we really enjoyed the event, it was a bit nerve racking. After an hour, we decided drinks were in order. So, we retired to the hotel bar for a light dinner.

The trip home starts at 11:00pm eastern time.
