Vienna - BOOOOOOORRRRING! - Wrath of the Barclay

Vienna - BOOOOOOORRRRING!

Great place for sausages though. OK, maybe that's a bit harsh, but it failed to grab either of us in any way whatsoever. The Ms. and I did the Europe thing this year and probably our favourite bit after Prague was Lauterbrunnen in the Swiss Alps. Similarly, the trip from Vienna to Venice by train was stunning. Just a shame about Italy really - we went to Venice, Rome, and Florence, and I have to say we hated Rome thoroughly and with a passion. Venice was OK if you get away from the bloody tourists (Take random side streets - you'll have no idea where you're going, but that's half the fun). Murrano was OK. Florence was OK, but it's not particularly big.
