Today is a very leisurly day. We get up to say goodbye to those leaving on the 8:30 bus, then head back to our room to catch up on travel journals and just relax. It is still raining and we are not motivated to do too much today but relax.

I decide to wander out to do some final shopping but find that on Sunday none of the shops are open :(. We catch the underground to St Stephans to do our last touristy things like having a Vienna coffee and a cube of rich, rich famous Sacher torte.

Rain, Rain and more Rain

We then board the underground again to go across town to visit the Sigmund Freud museum. It appeared to be closed, but it turned out to be the first mental test of the visit. A small sign said to press a button while pushing on the door to enter the museum. After climbing two flights of stairs, we then had to knock on a door to enter the actual museum. All very secretive but turned out the museum was located in Sigmund Freud's actual appartment. It was quite busy and we spent some time looking at pictures and reading information about his work. Unfortunately we were unable to watch the 20 min film as it only had a german soundtrack.

We returned to the hotel via the underground and stayed put for the rest of the day - both catching up on some much needed sleep and contemplating how to fit everything in to our suitcases for our flights through to Singapore tomorrow.
