Our return to Vienna was the result of plane delay that dropped us in Philadelphia for 24 hours. Trying to be a little budget conscious, we were able to get back to Vienna after a layover in London for the amount of our vouchers from American. While Vienna is a wonderful city and has a great Christmas energy that was in full swing, we opted to use this as a base of operations to see Budapest and Bratislava (Prague will have to wait, as will Belgrade).
We grabbed dinner at Pizzeria Scarabocchio, which has some solid GF options (and Italian cuisine reliably has vegetarian options), ate some Choco-fresh, the absolute best Kinder chocolate that is not available in the States, and walked around a bit.
There was some drama with our bus to Budapest where they stopped at the wrong portal and had no identifying markers that they were our bus and therefore pulled away without us. We ended up catching a later bus and passed the time at the airport eating Choco-fresh and watching Star Trek Deep Space Nine.
