We arrived in Vienna earlier than planned since we travelled by train instead of the ferry. The afternoon was spent wandering around the city and checking out the amazing buildings. It seems that every European city is competing to have the biggest and grandest buildings. It would be hard to top those in Vienna. The Parliment house is unbelievable. It has some kind of statue or decoration on every surface.
Signs told us that Mozart lived around here. We also visited the museum of natural history, which has a huge section devoted to Charles Darwin. They have many stuffed specimens of extinct or near extinct animals. One can't help but wonder if some of these creatures might still be around if museums had not stuffed so many.
We spent the rest of our time wandering around and window shopping the unaffordable brand names.
