Another hot day, and we spent most of it walking around the streets of Vienna. I was debating taking an excursion boat to Bratislava, but I figured that there were a few more things we could see here, so we skipped the boat trip.
Morning - went to the Hunderwasser House (don't really see what the fuss was about, so much), then we made our way, visiting all the playgrounds along the way, to the National Library. I had read a description of it that indicated it was a tourist attraction, but when we got there (hot, hot, hot!) it seemed like it was more for researchers. So we went to the McDonalds (familiarity and convenience is sometimes so comforting), had a coffee for me and a shake for Peter, then took a Lime scooter to the hotel. I was a little worried that police would stop us, because of having 2 people on the scooter, but we had no problem.
After a rest at the hotel, we went out to the Prater area - the amusement park. It's very close by. I told Peter he could spend 10 Euros on rides, so he went on one roller coaster type ride, then after LOT of ride evaluation in the hot sun, he went on the "Black Mambo". It was very scary looking, and 12 (Peter's age) was the minimum age. Peter enjoyed it, though. Then we went on the ride we'd done previously - the ride where you go up on the tower, spinning around on seats attached to the tower with chains. The ride was MUCH longer than it was the first time we did it - at least twice as long. We had time to really relax and look around up there.
Here's a few photos from our day.
