Vienna Fall 2013 - Part 1

Arriving In Vienna

Saturday - September 28th 2013

Late September Claudia had to attend a conference in Vienna and on Saturday I followed and picked her up around noon. First we drove to our hotel to check in and to drop our luggage off. We stayed at the Austria Trend Hotel Doppio, which was conviniently located near the U3 subway and the 18 and 71 tram lines. Due to the hotel's proximity to the highway, it was very easy to reach the hotel by car. Our modern room was really nice and we were surprised that it was equipped with a high definition TV, but the mini bar could have been filled with beer and wine as well. Next to the reception there was a bar, but we didn't have any drinks there.

After we checked in, we were on our way to the inner city to have a late lunch at a vegetarian restaurant called Loving Hut. I had a veggie burger and Claudia chose the pasta. Later we just walked around the beautiful city and had a vegan ice cream at Veganista.

Our next stop was the Meinl's Winebar. What a great place. We discovered the bar last year and of course we had to go there again. There we met some guys from Denmark who invited us to taste a really expensive French wine. Needless to say, that the wine was fantastic.

A couple of glases later we were getting hungry and decided to have dinner. On the way there we had to stop at another beautiful bar for a cold Stella Artois. Unfortunately the restaurant we wanted to go to was closed and so we ended at the Biobar, another vegan restaurant.

Since it was getting late, we returned to the hotel and watched some TV.
