We awaken early, take quick showers, dress and haul our bags out of the apartment to the street. Within a minute or two the friendly taxi driver from last night arrives and we are loaded in his car.
As he drives through the city he provides commentary on some of the places we have seen and many that we missed. A good excuse to return! We learn about the many advantages of living in Vienna from his point of view. He also provides some tips about the airport (don't buy at duty free, there's a grocery store with better prices, etc.) as we approach the departures curbside.
Our flight on Austrian Air is all good. The flight is not fully booked and we have an empty seat between us. Yeah! The flight attendants are warm and helpful, and the food is pretty good by airline coach seat standards. On top of it arrive home a little earlier than expected.
We really enjoyed both Budapest and Vienna, and Bratislava was a nice diversion for a couple of days. We both agree that Budapest is a city we could live in for a longer period of time.... three and a half weeks just whet our appetites. Vienna has much more to offer than we could see in a few days. Hopefully we'll return to both in a future year.
