o Visited Kehlstein – the Eagle’s Nest. Our first rainy day, but still had beautiful views of the German Alps at about 6,000 feet, almost at the snow line. Would be nice to make a return trip in the summer and hike around the area. Could not tour the inside of the Eagle’s Nest, as the majority of it has been leased out as a restaurant, but still a worthwhile trip. Decided to skip the tour of the salt mine in Salzburg, as we are all on extremely tight budgets, and headed straight for Vienna. Made it to Vienna after dark and although it was pouring down rain, decided to try our hand at the public transportation and make a trip to the Bermuda Triangle, the major bar/club area of Vienna. In Austria (and most of Europe) bartenders are allowed to drink on the job and we ended up getting our last two rounds of drinks and our hookah completely free. I think our server was more sloshed than us. Learned a little too late that the public transportation shuts down at 2 in the morning while the clubs don't empty out until 3. We all piled into a two day old Mercedes and were home in less than 5 Min. (Mind you that it was a good Fifteen to twenty min train ride into town)
