Sean and I have discovered that we are as useless as each other when it comes to being tourists in cities. Having had had a nana nap in our room to recover from the flight, we decided to get on the train and head into downtown Vienna. With no real interest in going into churches, cathedrals, museums etc., we wandered the streets for a couple of hours looking at all the very tall, very blonde Austrian people.
We also began our quest to find good Austrian coffee. There seems to be a large number of coffee shops in Vienna that serve coffee at an astronomical cost of 4 Euros (about $8). I have to say that we very disappointed.
Probably the most interesting thing we saw was the scaffolding on St Stephans Cathedral. Being one of the biggest tourist spots in Vienna, they had covered the scaffolding with a huge digital image of the cathedral as not to disappoint the tourists.
After we decided we had done enough wandering around, we headed back to the shopping mall across the road from our hotel. By this time we were pretty trashed and quite happy to sit around our room and attempt to sleep.
