Vienna

When I was a little girl I loved to watch the Austrian TV series "Komissar Rex" and dreamed that one day when I'm adult I will as an adult I would visit Vienna and see all the sights places through with my own eyes. Obviously, all those thoughts were forgotten as soon as I stopped watching the show after my favourite character ''died'' :D
This summer, when I planned my vacation, I supposed intended to visit Italy but couldn't finally decide what part of Italy to choose, so I spontaneously made up my mind to go to Austria. I should mention, I graduated from the university right on the day right before the trip, so you can easily imagine how busy I was with all those that graduation stuff, having and had absolutely no time to learn anything about where I was going to travel.
When I arrived to Vienna, the city was still and silent: the hot velvet dark of the night wrapped around the streets. Vienna goes to sleep early. And so early it wakes up, and I tried to follow its biorythms =)
My Every day begun at the Naschmarkt - the huge market with many cafes located between Linke and Reicht Wienzele (in about 10 metres from where I was staying stayed in). Long walks were taking all my tiredness of my studying and job away, so I kept walking as long and as far as my legs allowed me to do so. So many places to see! So many events to attend! I covered tens of kilometres just by walking =)
And once...in the very bosom of the city I met something that made my heart stopped with delight - St. Stephen's Cathedral, I saw it many times in photos but I didn't expect it to be so gorgeous! That was the very first time in my life when I literally stood dumb desperately trying to close up my mouth because I was completely under the spells of the place... I was enchanted and pleasantly shocked =)
And then I remembered those my naive childish wishes to see Vienna when I'm as an adult. "So what? Here I am! Nothing is impossible" - I laughed =) Vienna is not the best place in the world :D Just a city - clean and calm. And busy. And I even managed to get into trouble there! :D And I love it anyway! =)

Last week I was sick laying in my bed. To entertain myself somehow I decided to watch that old Austrian detective series. There was a surprise for me: twenty years ago Vienna looked exactly the same as now! I recognised every place easily with some sweet nostalgia not only for the city but also for the times when I dreamed about it.
