Hallo Wein, Γ”sterreich! πŸ‡¦πŸ‡Ή

It’s the month of the year again - September! Our anniversary month! πŸ₯°

Usually, we tried to make time to go somewhere - just the two of us - to celebrate this special event but sometimes due to work commitments, we just celebrate it earlier or later. 

This year, after so much suspense (sebab dah book flight but my boss assigned me a ‘last minute express’ project … not only that I also received a few last minute ad hoc requests for testing… semua nak cepat! πŸ™„πŸ™„) but alhamdulillah, managed to delegate whatever necessary and the so called last minute express project pun macam tak dan nak express sangat… so insyaAllah sempat lah I cuti dulu lol! (Balik nanti haaa hadap la kau! Hahaha! Kita pikir kemudian lah ya lol!)

So this year… the plan is Austria - Slovakia - Italy, in 10 days! Our flight was on 15th Sept, 2pm. So on 14th, I was still working (in fact got a meeting which dragged until 6pm πŸ™„ - thanks god wfh aje on that day!), Izzaty sent us to the airport late that night. After hours of travelling from KL to Vienna (transit in Jeddah for a few hours), by the time we arrived in Vienna on 15th of Sept 2022, we were flat tired! Tak nak gi mana2 dah.. nak rehat je. Thanks god, our rented so called ‘smartment’ (checked in all done digitally) is very near The Vienna Sentral Train Station. So Day 1 just gone like that haha!

Arriving at Vienna’s Airport.
Well, Hallo Wein! Long time no see!! πŸ₯°

Got on a train from the airport to Vienna Sentral Train Station where our rented apartment is located.
Our so-called ‘smartment’ - all checkin and everything digitalised gitu…

Day 2, after purchasing Vienna daily pass ticket, we decided to join the free walking tour - there are lots of choices - just pick any that has English spoken tourist guide. Ours was Patrick, a very nice person… so we had 2 hrs of walking tour guide learning about the old town of Vienna history. 

First wefie of the trip 😝


Patrick, the guy in brown sweater, our walking tour guide for 2 hours.
Visited the Imperial Palace where we learned about the history of Austria and all… 

Bersungguh si Patrick ni bercerita πŸ˜€

Also visited the Stephen’s Cathedral where we once visited in 2001.


Us in Stephen’s Cathedral, Vienna - 2022 Vs 2001:

21 years gap - same place, same old us but with extra wrinkles and kgs πŸ€ͺπŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚


After the walking tour, we had lunch  at Nordsea

Tu diaaa… hang nampak tak beratoq udang tu?? Sedapppppp!!! πŸ˜‹ 

We later shopped at HRC - as usual, adinda ku, Ruby mengirim… Sis tak beli tau… sumpah tak 😝

Tumpang belikan… and tumpang posing sat πŸ€“

Something that I will never forget happened - well actually, history repeat itself in Vienna. 21 years ago, I came to Vianna wearing a new pair of shoes, sakit sangat kaki I decided to buy a new one here. In 2022, the same thing happened - sis dah tak tahan sangat… gedik sangat nak pakai kasut baru yg konon2 will match my dress… haa padan muka… suffered so much pain sbb kasut tu ketat bahagian depan… had to spent about rm300 okay to buy a shoes again here in Vienna πŸ˜­πŸ˜­

Merayu dah kaki minta dibebaskan… so tanggal kasut and kinda forced Mr Hubby pi beli kasut yang I dah tenguk tadi (we literally walked into any shoe shops found to buy a new pair of shoes!)

Kasut pilihan… comel! Tapi mahal yak mat!!
Sabo je lah huhuuu…

Last stop of the day Stadtpark.. came here just to see the famous golden plated bronze statue of Johann Strauss.
Johann Strauss monument in Stadtpark, Vienna. 





That night telan panadol, terus tido lepas Maghrib (and Isyak)… skipped dinner terus huhuuu.

Actually, for the first time, sis bersiaran dari oversea! Updating this from Vienna on our 2nd day here… but gotta stop now as tomorrow, we have to wake up super early to catch our flight to Rome. Nanti sis sambung okay!
