   We made it to Vienna, a really pretty city but it feels a bit like the same old thing now. To see anything really different we walked down the road and went to the Kunsthaus Wien which is a building designed by Mr Hundertwasser, a painter, poet and architect. In New Zealand he is best known for the Hundertwasser toilets in Kawakawa and this very proud Austrian decided that he wanted to spend more time in New Zealand than Austria. In Austria he is famous, in New Zealand he is barely known. He created an alternate flag for NZ and Australia and stamps for Senegal, the Un and Liechenstein.
Last night we went out for dinner to a place recommended by the hostel staff for large meals and low prices. Centimeters does indeed serve large meals. Our roommate Chris ordered a 2m long sausage, and that's what came to the table. Our food was equally impressive for little more than it cost to cook for ourselves in Amsterdam.

Gotta go running out of $$$ but cool place met cool people.

Oooh, ooh! I've been there, I've been there!!! While you're in Austria, try the fries. Austrian fries are great, and what's with Wiener Schnitzel being made from pork?!? Austrians sure love their pig meat.
