Is it wrong to catalogue places by food?

I am in Vienna, home of the weiner schnitzel, Sacher Torte, Bled Cake, stodgy food and so many other exciting gastronomical extravaganzas that I just can't cope. Ah, so excited to have good food! It is such a sad state of affairs. No, it is sadder that I'm ultra excited by the fact we have had private bathrooms and quilts two nights in a row in two different places. Oh yes, it is the small things...

So what's been happening since last I posted? Um, I'm not really sure, it's all a blur! I have gotten better, so hopefully am over my cold. Good old dodgy amoxycillin. Yay for over the counter antibiotics!

We arrived in Vienna yesterday from LubblyJubbly (or if we're being all technical, Ljubljana), which had the best hotel ever! We had tv!!!!!!!!! I watched Ugly Betty!!!!!!! And it was in English! We also watched Australia and New Zealand lose at the rugby... it has not been a happy time in sport for me. However, I did drink a litre of beer, so that made up for it LubblyJubbly seemed quite a nice place, but it was cold and wet and raining and everything was shut, so it was hard to get a true sense of what the town was like. Oh, and just so you don't think I'm completely obsessed by tv (even tho, who am I kidding, I so am), I was also excited about the meals in the hotel, which had veggies! Unfortunately, there weren't enough and I had to make do with mashed pototoes. Poor me :)

So we arrived in Vienna and did a happy dance cos the rooms were nice and we had the private bathroom thing. And then we went out for dinner (2nd schnitzel in Vienna... heh) and then went to the Mozart and Strauss concert which was fun times! Its so amazing that someone a) thought wood and catsgut would make such a beautiful sound b) thought "i'll put valves on a recorder and see what happens" and c) could write such beautiful, intricate music. They had a soprano and baritone, as well as ballet dancers. It was awesome.

Today, we have a free day around Vienna, so we are going to eat Sacher Torte, drink coffee, hang out where Freud chilled and have lots of fun. This afternoon is the Schnapps museum and our hoogendoogen dinner... I feel I might be having schnitzel again.
