Vienna by bike!
Jun. 1st, 2002 05:06 pmThis morning, I took part in a bicycle tour around Vienna. It was certainly nice to not be walking, for a change! There were only five of us, plus the tour guide, which was good because we were a small enough group that we didn't get split up at traffic lights, as the cycles here tend to be rather short. Funny coincidence, one of the guys in my group was from Ottawa.
I did my grocery shopping, as tomorrow is Sunday and everything will be closed. I'm leaving for Prague in the morning, but I don't know if the Czechs close everything on Sunday too, and I don't want to risk going hungry. Yay for tins of tuna and little rolls! ^_^
This evening I'm going to subject myself to more Kultur, this time in the form of opera. Standing-room tickets are only 3 euro, which is practically nothing. Every night, the opera house has a different programme, and last night was "The Sleeping Beauty" ballet. I would have wanted to see that! Oh, well. I have no idea what's on tonight; I'll see when I get there.
I also must find an ATM. There don't seem to be all that many around, here, unless they're well-hidden. Not like in France, where there's one on every corner. I had a little surprise when I withdrew money here, the other day: in France, I'd withdraw 100 euro and get it in 20-dollar bills. In Venice, they gave me two 50s. But here, they gave me a hundred-dollar bill! I felt rich for all of a few minutes, after which I had to buy supper and so split it up.
