Vienna - September '04

The purpose of our trip to Vienna was to have a go at the European Casino Employees Poker Tournament. (We went to last years one in Holland) We went with Jarrod, Tia and Al and stayed at a nice cushy hostel called Wombats. (There's no escaping Oz!) We didn't win the tournament but we had loads of fun. Out time was mainly spent at the casino so we didn't really have a chance to see much of Vienna unfortunately.
Our first night in Vienna at a traditional Viennese restaurant. Amazing Wiener Schnitzels that took up the whole plate.
