Eating Pastries in Café Central

In Austria, we had a lot of pastries in well known places. One of these places were Cafe Central – a cafe with a line all the way around the block. We had a local showing us around, so we were able to know when the line wouldn’t be so long, and got there in time for first seating at breakfast! Some of their menu is only available at lunchtime, while other aspects of their menu are specific for breakfast, so it is worth making sure they have the foods you’d like to try when you go. We were very excited to eat here as the pastries looked SO stunning! I do not know the name of any of the cakes we had as we went up to the window and pointed at the ones we wanted to try.

Flip 7 – Counting Cards to Win

[Ad – Gifted Product] When it comes to card games, we play a select few of them at our board game night at Geek Retreat. We often have board games or dice games that have card-related aspects to them, but we don’t find many card games themselves. It feels like the market is full of the same old, so when someone said Flip 7 was “better than Uno” I was really curious to see what my children thought of it. I must say, however, that Flip 7 is hyped up A LOT. And, that sort of hype, had us all having such a high expectation.

A More Traditional Dinner at Grätzlheuriger

When it comes to Austria, I hadn’t really known what was traditional and what was not. I’ve been to Germany a handful of times, which feels similar in vibes, so was excited to try some more traditional food when visiting Austria. When we landed, we went to Grätzlheuriger, which has Austrian and Slovak food. The inside of the restaurant is very cozy and quant, which feels traditional, without being flashy. The staff were very kind to us English speakers and gave us English menus, that also had a picture side, which was very helpful as some of the translations were a bit perplexing to me!
