It is our last day in Vienna. The time just flew by this week! We went to mass at Augustinian Church at the Habsburg Palace. It was a high mass with a full Mozart Mass in D major. The organ played and there was a choir and an orchestra as well. It was much more meaningful to hear the Mozart Mass during an actual mass rather than just listening to the music straight through.
We ate lunch at a café and then went to see the Haus Der Musik, another music museum. Here we got to do interactive activities dealing with sound and music. There was also a floor dedicated to several great composers with a lot of information about their lives. After the museum, we took the train a little ways out to Prater, an amusement park with a well-known Ferris wheel. It cost 8.50 euros to ride this famous Ferris wheel, so we opted out of that and just walked around looking at all the rides. The rides were rather expensive. We found another Ferris wheel further into the park that cost much less, so that was our ride for the evening. When we returned to the center of the city, we ate supper at a grill and café for our last meal in Vienna.
