So this time I had a traditional austrian meal duing breakfast. I learned that breakfast is HUGE in Austria and is considered the most important meal. I had Semmeln (a type of breadroll; singular: Semmel); butter; coffee, muesli ( more than one kind); cold cuts (ham, sometimes smoked bacon called Speck or Schinkenspeck, cut sausages); boiled egg (not scrambled eggs), cakes and pastries (such as Danish buns); jams (not marmalade, although the Austrian term for jam is misleadingly "Marmelade"); and orange juice. The whole breakfast was delicious but very large!!! Breakfast is generally a meal I go light on, but I think while in Austria breakfast will be the biggest meal I have all day!

After breakfast, I decided to go shopping for my charm, and I found one! It's gorgeous! It's the shape of Austria and says 'Austria' in the middle. The picture of it will be in the photo albums along with my breakfast! Since I'd already been shopping for a charm, I decided to shop some more! I mostly window shopped, but I did try some dresses and things on. It was so much fun! I didn't buy anything else though..I don't think it'd fit in my luggage anyway. :P

Will post more soon!

Luv,
