Is this even real? Especially writing this blog, I started it just about exactly 6 months ago.. to the day! And already it is coming to a close. Just thinking back to all the things I have managed to see and do over the last 6 months is overwhelming. There's so much, but in the same thought I can't believe how fast it all passed by. From eating mango's on a hostel floor in Madrid to losing my luggage for a week in Malta, to sleeping in the airport tonight, I have experienced a lot.
And of course, I have eaten a lot! As I am still not quite done my adventure, I can't go reminiscing about food just yet. As tempting as it is because I don't have much news for good OR bad food adventures here. I am still working through leftovers. (YUCK) Nothing like boiled eggs for every other meal.
So, you might ask how I am spending my last moments in Vienna? I wish I could say something exciting like.. photographing as many pigeons as I can, or hiking to the Gloriette at Schonbrunn just one more time.. but no, soon I will go print my boarding pass and then come back to finish packing. I will take my last U-bahn ride to the train stations where I will then start the journey to the airport.
Unfortunately my flight is leaving at 6:20am from Vienna, and it being a Tuesday, the trains do not run all night. Sooo lucky me gets to sleep in the airport for a few hours before I can check-in and board. From Vienna I fly to Frankfurt, and from Frankfurt to Montreal where I will land at approximately 12:10pm local time. LONG trip, but I couldn't be more excited. I am certainly ready to return to Canadian soil and have a Large Regular with milk on my way home. AND if Mom is reading, a BBQ with hot dogs and hamburgers.. please? with Hienz ketchup. :)
Well, goodbye Vienna, I have thoroughly enjoyed your wiener schnitzel and Almdudler, and I will one day see you again!!
