Vienna Day 6: Thursday 25th






-Visit to the Hofburg (the Hapsburg palace): Our program toured the royal families’ china sets which were quite extensive. Then we toured the royal palace which the apartments.
-Albertina Museum: Deborah and I (my museum going buddy) visited this great museum whose collection was basically a review of what we had just learned in our art history class.
-Café Sperl: After spending time wandering the museum, Deb and I went to Café Sperl. This is one of the oldest and most famous cafes in Vienna. Café culture is important in Vienna and this one is top notch. I enjoyed a delicious hot chocolate and apple strudel!
-“Die Fledermaus” operetta: This night my program got all dressed up and went to see this Viennese classic. It was extremely entertaining—a story of trickery, lying and jokes. I had a great view of both the stage and the orchestra.
-We ended the night with class—ice cream at McDonalds.
