Started on finding the things I wanted to see with the Anker Clock built in 1911. It was convenient to where we ate, and was really interesting. I took the photo at 7:10. Can you tell? I bought us an apfelstrudel and we walked a bit more, desserting on it, gawking. But soon the man-cub, being who he is, didn’t bother with bringing a beanie, or scarf, or anything other than a coat, got cold, so we headed back to the ABB and called it a night. Tomorrow is another day.
The day started with a breakfast on the Buda side of the Danube. Trams rock. I had Hungarian savory French toast. It tasted like French toast, but instead of syrup, the “sauce” was a light sour cream. Pretty good actually. Tram back to the apartment, finish packing and hop a metro to the bus station where we had tickets to ride to Vienna via a 3-hour, quite comfortable bus. The original plan was to take a train, but the man-cub did some research and found the bus. It takes an extra hour over the train, but costs $30 round trip vs $90 one way. Yeah, I’ll take that deal. I still get to see the countryside, but I get to save a few euros. True, I couldn’t get up and walk around, but the seats were comfortable, they had built in video screens like an airplane, and even hot chocolate! We arrived, and hopped in an Uber. Dang, but traffic was bad. It was 4:00 pm on a workday, though, so I guess not unexpected. We eventually made it to the AirBnB and it’s quite, quite nice. It’s an easy walk to the Museum Quarter, and lots of cool restaurants and shopping, if that’s your gig. It’s not mine. We did do some walking around, and hit a burger place for dinner (The cub likes his burgers.) Pretty chill place, with a wide variety of dippers for your fries, including mango curry, and chipotle chocolate in addition to the usual - and boring - ketchup.
