Austria, Belvedere, Cathedral of Vienna, Gustav Klimt, Hofburg Palace, Rathaus, St. Michael's Church, St. Peter's Church, Vienna

Mr. Selfish and I took in the beautiful sights at Vienna.  The weather was forecast to be rainy and dreary, but lo and behold, the sun came out.  We lucked out again. I think we’re experiencing weather karma now because it’s been rainy almost every single day we’ve been in Paris., but more on that later.

We visited the Belvedere in Vienna.  The Belvedere consists of two palaces – the Upper and Lower Belvedere.  The Upper Belvedere contains the largest collection of Gustav Klimt in the world.  Unfortunately, we weren’t able to take photos of those beautiful paintings.  Nevertheless, we took plenty of photos of the outside of the two palaces.

Austria, Chimney cake, Doner Kebab, Goulash, Market, Schnitzel, Vienna

Mr. Selfish and I visited Vienna, Austria for two days.  The first thing we did was go to the Naschmarkt, which is Vienna’s largest outdoor market.  The market had a great deal of fresh veggies, dried fruits, and spices.  Mr. Selfish and I bought some dried erdbeere (strawberries) to munch on.  There was also a lot of falafel and doner kebab stands.

Edinburgh, Europe, Lake District, Munich, Paris, Park Hyatt Zurich, Travel Hacking, Vienna, Zurich

Today we’re saying goodbye to our cozy London studio flat, and are hopping on a train to Scotland to start our trip from London to Paris by way of Eastern Europe.  While two weeks would normally be a decent amount of time, we’re passing through 5 separate locations and covering over 2,100 miles, so I expect it will be a little frantic.

Along the way we’re hitting up:

Edinburgh

Home to kilts, haggus, scones, and a host of tough man stereotypes!  Mrs. Selfish and I plan on hitting up castles, pubs, Arthur’s Seat, and the Royal Mile.  For our three nights in Edinburgh, we’re staying at the Hilton Grovesnor hotel.  It’s slightly pricier than I’d like (about $120 a night), but with Mrs. Selfish’s gold status we should be getting wifi and free breakfast every morning – so not too shabby!
