Vienna

Two days ago I arrived in Vienna, it is in Austria and that night we went on a 40 minute horse and carriage ride and it was fun we went through almost the whole city it was very fun because I had never been to Vienna before. It was so fun because we saw lots of Christmas lights and gigantic chandeliers and crowns and Christmas balls. On the corner of our street there was a giant red ball and that’s how we knew where our street is!

In the morning I woke up and played the iPad and I played asphalt 8 and I watched YouTube Poet Plays Jurassic park operation genesis and it was cool then after 30 minutes I started reading Just Disgusting and it was funny and I finished the book but I already had read 289 pages and before that I read the long haul which is Diary Of A Wimpy Kid and I also read How Much Poo Does An Elephant Do.

Yesterday we walked all DDDDAAAAYYYY. Dad has been counting on his phone how many steps we have done each day and yesterday we did 14,432 steps! We went to so many different Christmas markets. There were huge donuts at the Rathaus Christmas Market as big as my head.

I also climbed the tower at St Stephan’s Cathedral with my Dad. It was 343 steps up and our feet were hurting. In the little windows in the staircase we could see the city and sometimes we could only see the sky and the top level there was a room and there were little telescopes that you could look at the city very closely. In the staircase it was really hot and tight. It was very tiring and it was very tight. The staircase was going round and round and round and round I felt a bit dizzy when we came down. The church was a grey brown color and at the top there was a place where you could get souvenirs.

We had dinner at a restaurant next to a Greek church that we went into.  There was an old lady playing the zither, which is like a violin that has a lot of strings probably 20 but it sits flat on top of a table. For dinner we ordered a tapfelspitz, which is a traditional Austrian dish, and it was very yummy and it had applesauce or a cheesy kind of dip.                                                                              

Today we went to the Giant Ferris wheel that dad said is in a movie he likes called The Third Man. The Ferris wheel was in a theme park. I went on 2 other rides with my mum and we went on an obstacle course that had bridges and moving things. It was freaky and there was like a hamster wheel thing that you had to run through the middle of. My mum started in the front and I finished in front of her. We went on a little rollercoaster that was really fast and it was really cool because it went up then forward then it did lots of turns and the it went down up down up down up and I had a lot of fun there.

We walked along the Danube river that we also saw in Regensburg.

Today was really sunny.
