Trip to Vienna

Hallo from Bratislava! Today we decided to take a trip down the Danube to Vienna, home of Mozart. We found a place around 5 minutes walk from our apartment that had a hydrofoil service, taking around 75 minutes each way, for around £40 all together. So off we trod, and here are some piccies...

Here's the hydrofoil - coolio!

Ok - so when we got back to the Danube for the hydrofoil back we were told it had broken down - boo! So we were bussed home, and given a refund for the return journey - hooray!
