Aftering leaving Salsburg, we drove to Wien. Mom was happy to get there as I had tried to kill us 3 times with my bad driving skills. First I did an illegal U-turn, almost hitting a guy on a motorcycle while almost getting hit by oncoming traffic. Next, I drove down the trolley lane and had to back up in an intersection to get in the car lane. Finally, I drove the wrong way down a one way street. Once getting to our hotel, we went to dinner at Burger King. Still poor mom couldn't get a good cup of coffee.
The first stop was Shonebrunn Castle. This was a palace build for the famous queen of Austria - Elizabeth. Here we also went to see a Marionette show - Mozarts "Magic Flute".
The next day we headed headed to the Prata. This is a giant Ferris Wheel. We had heard that we just had to go ride it. However, neither one of use was overly impresses by this.The most interesting thing here was the Pig MAC Machine.
We stopped by a church, where they had dead priest all through the place. This was quite unnerving. Can you imagine sitting with dead people every Sunday for service? Is this meant to scare people into being Christ-like? Creepy!
Next was the royal china collection. This was massive. Everything from gold to silver to glasses of all kinds and made all other the world. The upstairs of this musuem was the old living quarters from Elizabeth. This told of her depression in life, her distaste for being forced to marry royalty, the morning the loss of several children, and her dead by murder. After hearing all of this, it is a wander she never killed himself. On the way back to the hotel we went past the Bellvadere. This, we think, was an art museum. We didn't go in. However, we did see my dad there. Really, my dad would totally where red pants and a green jacket. 
On the third day, we left early and headed to Europes biggest water fall.
