9 th of July

Good morning Vienna. At the train station I see some signs that says this way to a B&B. We walk towards that direction and we see it pretty soon. Close by the train station. Great we get a nice room for a great price, HAPPY. After a shower it's time for us to become museum buffs again. We're strolling to the Imperial Palace actually it's the second time I visit the Imperial Palace.


We're walking around in the apartments for Elisabeth (Sisi) and Franz Joseph, the silver collection and the Sisi museum. The Sisi Museum in the Imperial Apartments compares the myth and the facts. Many objects are on show as well as the death mask taken after her assassination. Sisi was stabbed in the heart with a file by a young anarchist named Luigi Lucheni, in an act of propaganda of the deed. We even get to the see the file. Very, very interesting.

From the movie Sissi (Empress Elisabeth)


After all this it's time for guess what a visit to Aida





Burggarten

We also visit the higlight in Vienna Julius Meinl. If you haven´t been there is definitely worth a visit gourmet food from all over the world.

Dinner later in the evening our favourite Indian restaurant in Vienna. Totaly love it. My brother gets some chicken in turmeric (gurkmeja) on his pants turns yellow of the turmeric quite funny...I'm still laughing....I bet he's not...

8 th of July Brasov

We start the morning with a visit to The Black church, Brasovs historic landmark. The church was given its name after disaster struck in 1689. When the Great Fire, set by Hapsburg invaders, leveled most of the town, heavily damaged the church and blackening its walls. So still today the name is The Black church.


Wiev over The Black church. not that black anymore.

After that we buy some fresh fruit and bread and takes the cable car up the mountains sourrounding Brasov (Carpathians, great skiing in the winter). It's really hot up at the top but we walks around for a while and eats our picnic. But then suddenly the weather changes and it gets all dark. We walk very fast back to the cable car and then the thunderstorm catch up with us. When we get back down to the city again we're hiding inside Mc Donalds.

Brasov also has the longest and narrowest street in Europe


Later on it's pizza time and then we head back to the B&B to pick up the luggage. The train station is not that nice lots of creepy people, that seems interested in us. I'm having a firm grip of my bagpack. This time our compartment for the night looks like this.





During the night we pass campfires with loads of people sleeping and eating around it. Cities that look deserted in the middle of nowhere. To bad I'm to shocked
to take any photos it looks like we're in Asia or Africa...
Tonight I sleep really well and we get to show our passport two times during the night. Next morning we wakes up in Vienna. Good morning Vienna my brohers favourite city.
