August 6-7

Today we did much of the same(blogged, journaled, badmintoned...)in preperation for our night train trip into Vienna. We caught a 7:40 train out of Lausanne headed for Zurich. On the train we read, listened to music, talked and snacked. We arrived in Zurich at around 10:00, went adn found something to eat in the shape of a sausage then boarded the night train at 10:40 headed to Vienna. Our compartement was a little small but once everyone was in their respective beds it turned out to be quite roomy. We had a peacful sleep before we were woken up abruptly by breakfast which was brought right to our rooms. We finished up our breakfast just in time to get off the train at aroung 8:00. Norah was there to greet us and guide her back to her apartment. When we arrived at Norah's "cool" appartement she had a massive breakfast all laid out just waiting to be eaten. After we'd chowed our way through breakfast we headed off to the Zoo at Schoenbrun.
This was quite cool seeing as the boys had never been to a zoo before and it contained nearly ever animal on the planet, or os it seemed. Post trip to the zoo, we visited Bibi in the hospital for about 15 minuted before we had to catch a bus down to the main entrance because the hospital was huge. That night after another spaghetti dinner we headed off to explore some of Vienna's finest highlights. We tramed around the outside of the city, stoppin only to see the structures we wanted to see. Our favortie was St. Stephens chruch which has been there since the 1400's and was bombed in the second world war. Two very long days.
