Vienna thus far.

We arrived in Vienna yesterday after an amazing 10 hour train ride across Germany and Austria. The scenery was just gorgeous, Bavaria is definitely a place I want to visit before I die. Anyways we get here and have to try and locate our hostel, which ends up being about 15 blocks from the train station. We are going to have crazy back muscles by the end of this. We are not staying in the nice part of Vienna, but the bad parts are even nice. Our street is one of the main streets that leads you to the area where more of the tourist spots are which is nice. All the buildings we have seen, with the exception of a few, are old with charming architecture. Our hostel on the other hand is not so charming. Our window is broken, we are on the main level so this is sketchy, it's very old and dated, the sheets are made of tablecloth material and the wifi is extremely temperamental. And our room isn't actually connected to the main hostel, it's down the street and around the corner, so quite far away if we need anything. A lot of loud teenagers as well, what I seem to think are school groups. They don't sleep, therefore since we hear everything neither do we. Apart from our hostel though Vienna is amazing. We went for a walk after we arrived and got situated, so around 7, and ran into the parliament and a jazz festival. We stayed there for a bit, listened to one band and decided we needed to dress warmer. We go back to our hostel and depart once more, get to the parliament and a huge freak storm hits. Anyone who knows me knows I don't like being outside during storms so I had a little heart attack. Not to mention the lightning hit the building across the street from us, we actually felt heat from the hit, so I was a tad uneasy about being stuck outside. We took refuge under a doorway on the side of the parliament building where the rain couldn't hit us. Vienna is situated in a valley between large hills, so the thunder was extremely loud. We watched this storm for about 10 minutes, I've never seen such a lightning show in my life. I hope this doesn't happen again. After this we decided it would be best not to go to the jazz show, if it was even still on, so we found an indian restaurant and had a great meal. And then tried to go to sleep. And that was our first day in Vienna! Byyyeeee
