Europe-the developed world and posh civilization in Vienna
Yup, we can tell that we have touched the developing world again. Delhi airport was the worst airport in the whole world. It is extremely small and must succumb to the pressures of international security. The lines were hours long and the extra 3 hours we allowed was all used up waiting in ques. Any question we asked was answered wrongly, so we just continued to ask again until we could make an educated guess. We did make it out on our flight and arrived the next morning in Austria. We were shocked with prices from the getgo. Way too much time spent in India to understand that things actually cost euro! From the train, we headed down town and got lost trying to find our hostel. By the time we got to it, I realized that my cold had escalated, was exhausted and angry that I had no energy to walk around Europe. Ethan took a walk without me, but when he returned to find me and get some lunch, he too layed down and we both passed out again. I made great use of our very pricey hostel and enjoyed the down comforter and pillow. In the evening, I stayed in nursing my cold after cooking dinner. Yes, I cooked for the first time since, well, since Australia.
We walked around Vienna and took a tram and saw the city. Everything is sooooo clean and old. It is amazing to see things so much older than the US. Maybe when we go back through Vienna, we will get to see the Vienna Boys CHoir or the Philharmonic, but this trip was just mouths open, gazing at the buildings and such.
