Day 4: Vienna
From Prague, we took a quick 5 hour drive down to Vienna, Austria!
Vienna was definitely had a jam-packed schedule, but it was so much fun! It is SUCH a beautiful city, and the people there are super nice. My friends Georgie, Scarlett and I stumbled upon a huge street market near the harbor that was so cool! We ended up eating lunch there and looking around.

After the street market we walked back to our meeting point. The city is really so beautiful I hope I will get to go back there one day.
That night our exchange program arranged it so we got to see and orchestra performance! It was so cool, they all dressed in traditional clothing and there was also a ballet number and two opera singers! It was quite the event, but unfortunately we were not allowed to photograph or film the performance. But the venue was quite beautiful as well!
My friend Aiden and I felt quite posh as we enjoyed the complimentary orange juice served at intermission.
After the performance we went back to our hostel and took some photos! Aiden is quite the photographer and was kind enough to agree to do a photoshoot for us...
Unfortunately we had to leave Vienna the next day, but the time we spent there was well spent.

Day 5: Lido di Jesolo
Now this might be my favorite place we visited on Eurotour. It's not a big, famous city like almost everywhere else we went in these two and a half weeks. It's just a small tourist town in the Northern part of Italy. But I have so many good memories here that I made with the other exchange students, Lido will always hold a special place in my heart.
It was a bit of a drive from Vienna to Lido, but it was one of the most beautiful drives I've ever been on in my life. I remember we were all a bit tired after Vienna, so we all fell asleep on the bus. When I woke up again we were driving through the Alps on the border to Italy.
It was a little hard to capture the mountains on camera while in a moving bus, but I will always remember how vast they were. Our whole bus was in awe of our surroundings, it was really a magical moment.
We spent three nights in Lido, so it was one of the cities we stayed the longest in. After arriving and getting some good pasta for dinner, we went to bed and had the next day off!
Our hotel was right by the beach, so our group decided to take a day and relax. It was the first time I had swam in the ocean since August and it felt so good. You can imagine the Brazilians went crazy over being able to swim in the water again after nine months!

We had a lot of good nights in Lido, a lot of laughs. I will never forget that place.
And now I'd like to say thank you to Marilyn Maracek for donating to my GoFundMe! Without your donation I wouldn't have been able to have these amazing experiences to share with you! Thank you so much, I will forever be grateful.
