Left early on Friday morning for
Vienna which city we reached on Saturday Evening 31st Oct. after a
ride of some 36 hours to a country which from its appearance seemed to say that
it's inhabitants were well-to-do in the world. Made enquiries respecting the
Danube and found it to be impracticable to go by that route to Constantinople,
so concluded to remain in Vienna as long as possible so to do, before sailing
from Trieste for Greece.
Vienna is said to be one of the
gayest cities in Europe and by many preferred to Paris, myself however not
among the number. There is very little architectural beauty of the city, and
few statues and fountains of merit in the streets – though its galleries
&c. are very rich. [79]
