Vienna: A trip to the Jungle
Of everything I saw and did, my favorite was the Palmenhaus at Schönbrunn Schloss. This was a location of personal interest and I had to speed run the zoo to see it, but it was worth it. I don't know what it is about me, but sometimes I find these little things that I just fall in love with, and getting to see them again can top an entire trip. This time, that little thing was the novelty of a Victorian-style greenhouse. I love greenhouses in general, but these ones are just so beautiful, I've always wanted to get lost in one. I think my original love for these buildings was from the movie, "Barbie Island Princess".
But I mean, honestly, look at how pretty they made it seem. After being stuck in a sea of tourists, with the constant buzz of chatter ringing around me, and stale air hanging in the air, the Palmenhaus was a breath of fresh air. A cool, damp breeze carried the smell of fresh dirt and green things, an ambiance of birds and frogs chatted in the branches above me, and the few guests who wondered the greenhouse were lost in the foliage. I could have stayed in there all day. I'm sorry the pictures are blurry. My wifi is terrible, and it won't render images very well.
