Melk and Vienna

Vienna is beautiful but huge!  I had to do a train-bus-train transfer today and am exhausted for it.  Went to a small town called Melk on the way to Vienna and saw a gigantic monastary.  Nice and boring.  :)  I have some amazing pictures.  Tonight I went to St. Peter's Cathedral and got the best ice cream in Vienna, recommended by the hostel.  It was like Brooklyn Bagel in Clarendon (think Soup Nazi) and I loved it.  I want to see the Imperial Palace Apartments tomorrow and possibly the Danube River Cruise to Bratislava (70Euros I think).  I have a ticket that continues to Budapest that is good for two months, so I will eventually get there, although I hear there is a festival and no accommodations.  Following the wind right now, and it seems to be working well, although my feet and back are sore at the end of each day.  I am considering sending a package  of clothes home, as I am finding I do not want to wear all that I brought.  Everyone complains about how damn hot it is here but there is no humidity and it has been about 80 degrees.  Gorgeous!
