I woke up this morning around 8AM, packed, checked out, and left my big bag in the luggage room at the hostel. I went to the grocery store for breakfast and some souvenirs and got a pastry and some Mozartkugel for my family and friends. I then walked over to Belvedere Palace, took some pictures, and ate […]
vienna day two + bratislava day trip
Yesterday I woke up around 9AM to two Mexican girls playing music from their phones at full blast as they got ready for the day and packed all of their belongings for the next leg of their journey.
