Vienna - Day 3

So, I totally missed day 3 earlier (how embarrassing), so I changed some of my previous headings and this will be out of order - oh well. Anyway, I'm going to blame this absentmindedness on the fact that we really couldn't take any photos in the museums we went to on that day. We went to a couple of museums, (Sisi museum and the treasury museum, at the Hofburg Palace. The Sisi museum was interesting, and we did enjoy getting to see their furnishings. We then went to the treasury museum where we got to see the crown associated with Charlemane (so pretty and old) as well as one of the Hapsburg's crowns. Carsten most enjoyed the statue on the square between the museum because he could walk up and down the step. There was also a nice grassy area where we played for a bit as well. Here's a few photos:

The statue that we spent a lot of time by watching Carsten go up and down the step :).

After seeing the museums, we headed back to our apartment to let Carsten nap. After his nap we decided that we wanted to head to the Danube River area and have supper at a cafe since all of our other meals were pretty cheap and quick. Well, this ended up being a bit of a bust because we did not know where we were going. We didn't have internet and we did not guess the correct place to find a restaurant. We ended up back by Swedenplatz after a lot of frustration and found a nice restaurant who served amazing Viennese food (wienerschnitzel = yum). Here's a photo of our yummy (and still relatively expensive) dinner :).

Our nice dinner :).
