Hiya guys, I'm off again, this time to Vienna with my siblings and parents, will be back on Tuesday (and totally knackered because it takes TWELVE HOURS to travel from Southampton to Vienna or back!)!

Twelve hours, how will you cope?

Sleeping for the duration of it?

12 hours is a cinch!

And I'm back again! Vienna is a funny city, almost arrogantly bombastic in its construction, every single street and building is flipping HUGE and built in an imposing historic style of Austria-Hungary which would lead you to believe it was a significantly more powerful nation than it actually was. Everything is extremely clean and well-maintained, and gives you a feeling everything is just done quite well. They have good traditional German-style food, and although they boast of a beer culture, it must be admitted Vienna is quite sterile and not an especially cosy city. However, it is extremely beautiful and even romantic, and definitely worth a visit .

Really? I'll give you the fact that there is zero litter, but it still felt a bit grubby to me. Too many old soot/smog stained buildings tbh.

Otherwise a nice place, that shouldn't be visited in December as it's as incredibly damp and therefore freezing.

Yes, there was a lot of smog, it's quite visible on our photos too. Everything at street level is very clean though, I'd say.

And yeah, I can imagine that'd be freezing . As it happens, it was well over 21 degrees with not a wisp of cloud to be found and I got quite sunburnt .
