Ugh. And OMG, the scenery is amazing. We had swapped cars out at Avis in Milan at the airport due to a STABBED TIRE at an Italian Area Servicio, and parked the new car for most of two days at Venice. Now we were driving it through Europe and noticing the huge loss of the window space from our previous car. The first rental had an amazing feature. The ENTIRE HEADLINER pulled back about a foot to display GLASS. So for Richard, this was very enrolling. He loves Jeep Wranglers. Open tops, open sunroofs, open windows, all contribute to the "Awesomesauce" experience of driving. Our new car didn't have the awesomesauce headliner experience.
Even so, the three row vehicle was getting us into Vienna just fine. We found the Freud Museum and toured the home of modern psychoanalysis, then found a lovely coffee shop with cappucinnos and croissants. They had a really great white washed wine box finished wall.
We stayed that night in a hotel near the airport. It was a horrible drive in construction zones to get to the place, but once there, the hotel was "passable". Unfortunatley, they could not take credit cards, their computer system had crashed, so we went to find an ATM to pay for the hotel. Fillled with a Czech team of female sports fanatics who had obviously just won a match. Very excited, lots of beer drinking, and we just slept after a very long road trip. Not sure to this day what sport they played, but had a very "Eastern European" feel to the evening. I was reminded of Nadia Comenici.
