Vienna Fall 2014 - Part 2

Relaxing In Vienna

Monday - October 6th 2014

Today we slept in, because we were still a bit exhausted from our wedding. Around 10am we got up and soon we were on our way to Starbucks for coffee. The hotel offered free rental bikes and of course we had to try them. After a small breakfast at Starbucks we did some shopping at the Mariahilfer Straße, Vienna's main shopping street. For lunch we went to Xu's Cooking, a vegetarian buffet style Chinese restaurant.

Afterwards we returned the bikes and walked into the inner city. While Claudia had to attend a meeting with her publisher, I had a cup of tea at Starbucks. Since Claudia published her first vegan cookbook, we had to celebrate that at Meinl's Wine Bar. Later we headed to the newly opened Hard Rock Cafe Vienna. It was about time that the famous restaurant chain opened one in Austria and I have to say it turned out beautifully. There we spent quite some time and had some delicious cocktails.

Later we had dinner at a Mexican burrito grill named Fresco. We both ordered a veggie burrito with nachos and guacamole. Although the burritos didn't match the ones from Chipotle, they were still quite tasty and I'm sure we will eat there again. Before we returned to the hotel, we had a drink at the Museumsquartier and ice cream at Veganista. Back at the hotel we spent some time at the hotel restaurant and enjoyed some ice cold beers.
