Wet Like Home

I'm drenched!
I suppose it's karma for complaining about the hot weather. Now Europe is determined to drown me. I managed to avoid the downpours and drizzels in Budapest, but Vienna really has it in for me. I mean, I even had to buy an umbrella today! Things are grim.

Between the huge flood-like drops of rain I've managed to see a bit of Vienna. Beautiful city. Very aristocratic. But I keep looking for a more gritty modern side. I'm tired of seeing the ostentatious 18th Century buildings. I want to see the modern things, what's hot in fashion and art etc. Haven't had much luck with Vienna. It was easier in Budapest. Though I have to admit I haven't had much chance to see anything. Yesterday was Sunday so everything was closed and today everything is obliterated by the rain. Poop. Oh well, guess it just means I'll have to come back to Vienna another time. :)

Tomorrow I head off to Prague. (Or "Prag-you" as one of my hostel mates in Budapest called it.) It'll be rediculously touristy, but it's gotta be seen and with luck I'll be able to head out into the country side. I found a tour that'll take you out, but it includes a boat tour through some caves and I'm really done with caves for awhile. But I'll definitely take a forest. You know, with trees... and grass... and animals... generally living things all around. Yeah. Forest. Woods. Whatever. That's what I want. Here's hoping!
