another travel day. uggggh. on the bright side, we actually got to sleep in a bit today so instead of getting up at 7 to run to the bus we could have gotten up at 9. however this schedule has made me go insane and so i woke up at 8:15 anyway. went to the gym which was awesome as i feel disgusting and have gained a few pounds, showered, and had the craziest buffet breakfast ever. no really. they had everything you could possibly want! too bad my stomach is so limited in space.
flight was okay until we started to land -- the weather is kind of crappy today in vienna so the landing was quite turbulent. gross. it was also sadly our last flight with that crew -- we switch for going to asia. just got in about 45 mins ago to the intercontinental hotel... it is awesome, i am in love with my bed. i want to sleep, but instead dinner and maybe going for a movie (!) as carla apparently knows a place where they show movies in original language w/ subtitles instead of dubbing. sweet.
nice not to have to play a concert tonight.
tomorrow is tourist day.. i may just wander around the center area and see what there is to see. also need to do some mandolin shit. and go to the gym again. and sleep. sleep is good.
(in the end, we went out to a restaurant apparently where beethoven and schubert used to hang out and had a lovely dinner. i ate venison for the first time ever -- sooooo yummy! also went wandering and saw some really pretty churches at night, very peaceful. more wandering tomorrow.)
time in transit: ~3.5h
flying time: 1h
