The highlight of our last day in Vienna was going to an island on the Danube River called Donauinsel.
This is our feet in the Danube. In this shot, Michael's shirt is dry...
...and then it was not! He fell right in, but didn't seem to mind since it was so hot.
We found a great playground on the island that had this contraption where you could pump water down a series of wooden ramps, until it reached the sand below...
...where you could, of course, make sand cookies.
There was also a really great spray park on the island, which would have been way better to find at the beginning of our very hot trip than on the last evening right before bedtime. Oh well, next time, right?
Our journey home from Vienna was kind of awful. The train was older than the one we rode in on the way there, and it hadn't had a good scrubbing in awhile. One of the cars on the train lost air conditioning part way through our eight hour journey, so all of the people from that car were standing in the hallway or trying to find space in the cabins of our car. It got really hot really fast. We shared our cabin with Josephina, an older lady from the Czech Republic. She was lovely and I enjoyed spending time with her. All in all though, we were very happy to get home.
When we arrived at our building at 10:30 pm, there were these giant glowing flower pots that were not there when we left. Totally weird!
