Day 6 - Vienna

Day 6 - Fri Nov 17 - Vienna

Food Tour, Time Travel Vienna History, Escape Room and Heuriger


This is a hard day to parse.  When I had showed Peter the prices for a food tour, he said he could do much better for less and I agreed with him. There was also an hour of history at the Time Travel Magic Vienna and an Escape Room at Locks and Clocks.  At the end of the day, we met up with Hanni at a Heuriger.

I'll post the food, history, Escape Room, the Heuriger separately, but realize these were lumped together.


Food Tour

We had 5 different food stops this day.   

The Virgil Chapel

The first reference of history was in the St Stephan's Cathedral Subway stop (U-Bahn.)  After parking Peter's car at another U-Bahn station where the parking prices were reasonable, we took the subway to St Stephan's Cathedral (nick-named Steffi.) There we saw the Virgil Cathedral, which had been uncovered and preserved for posterity.  Unfortunately, it was closed for renovations.

Time Travel Magic Vienna History Tour

We went to the Time Travel Magic Vienna History Tour, a combination of 3-D and special effects theater, VR, and animatronics including being in a bunker during the second world war during a bombing (the floor shook!)
It was a little commercial and shallow, but we could relate to a lot of things since we both grew up with it.

Escape Room at Locks and Clocks - the Secret Study


The premise of the Escape Room we did, the Secret Study, was that we were secret agents taking the final test before we could become official agents.  Our game master Yogi gave us an extra 5 minutes (we needed it).

Heuriger

The word Heuriger means this year's wine or new wine.  It is the name of a place that serves wine and sometimes food.  The place we went to was called Bobal.  I had the Fleishlaberl (meat patty). The atmosphere is amazing there, with all the patrons just sitting together like friends, and this evening was Philipp's birthday and we all got a piece of birthday cake.
