I was on this trip for about two weeks. I traveled to two countries that I had never been to and I would love to go back to them one day with my family. Especially Austria. It was pretty incredible. Now I can't talk about work and the things I do there, but these were all done in the evenings, weekends or on travel days. Enjoy!
After we arrived in Austria, we got checked into our hotel, showered, changed and met up for drinks at Das Loft Restaurant and Bar. One of my co-workers did some research before we went and picked out some amazing tours, bars and restaurants. This one was incredible. It was on the 18th floor and overlooked all of Vienna.
Back before I got my new extensions put in. Notice how short they are here? These are the ones I got for free that ended up breaking just like the pair before them.
After drinks, we walked to Gasthaus Kopp for the "best" Goulash and Wiener Schnitzel. I got the goulash and it was incredible. We all shared some apple strudel and had shots of schnapps (which were very popular in Austria).
This was soooo good. They served it with the best spatzel.
The next day we worked for most of the day and then headed for some sightseeing, some shopping and a special brewery tour. My co-worker set us up an after hours brewery tour with just us co-workers and the attorney on the case (a total of 7 of us).
This was from a stand between our hotel and the subway. They are known for their sausages in bread. I shared mine with the only other woman coworker on the trip. We got the spicy one and it was really good.
Across from the church was a cafe. The guys all got beers while M and I got coffees with ice cream in them....another specialty there.
The place where M got a new purse and wallet.
This area was full of designer shops.
The day I bought my YSL bag. I use this bag every single day and I LOVE it. So worth it.
Very happy and proud!
We hurried back to the hotel to drop our shopping items off and took a taxi to the brewery. We went to Ottakringer Brewery which was beers that we all enjoyed the entire trip.
And that concludes days 1, 2 and 3. Day 1 was our travel day.
It looks beautiful there; you managed to squeeze in a good amount of sight-seeing between work!
ReplyDeleteYes we did. In the beginning, but then we were slammed all day and I didn't take as many photos as I should have. I am not sure when I will be back so I wish I would have taken more.
DeleteEuropean cities seem so cool to visit!
ReplyDeleteThey are pretty amazing. I love all the history!
DeleteGood for you getting a bag as your souvenir - what a special bag to use!
ReplyDeleteIt is so special and I will always remember my trip because I use that bag every day.
DeleteBeautiful photos! looks like a great trip.
ReplyDeleteThank you. It was the best trip!
DeleteSWOONING over the fact that you got to go to Austria! Love that you get to explore so much on work trips, I always just got a quick few hours to do as much as I could while totally jet lagged before the events kicked off and then there was no turning back - ha! Also swooning over your gorgeous new bag - perfect purchase <3
ReplyDeleteIt has always been on my bucket list. I definitely love that we are there long enough to squeeze in things each night and we had a full weekend there too. I also snapped photos during lunch as much as I could. And the bag is my favorite. I will always remember this trip when I see my bag!
DeleteWhat a trip! You got some beautiful pictures! I can't wait to see more!
ReplyDeleteThank you. It was one of the best work trips I have been on!
DeleteAnytime a luxury purchase is part of the trip is a good trip LOL!
ReplyDeleteThat is 100% true!
