Lainzer Tiergarten



As with my other two activities, I didn't really have to interact with very many people here. I did talk to some older Austrian ladies at the bus stop as well as a couple people at the Hermes Villa museum and the cafe. I ordered my food and bought tickets in German. 

I have never been to a Game reserve before and I'm not sure there are any parks like this in Virginia where you can wander around so close to wildlife. It was really cool to be in such a big park that was relatively close to the city. In most parks in the US, you can see animals in pens or maybe a few deer, but this was my first time seeing wild boar in person. 


I had a lot of fun seeing the Hermes Villa, it was an interesting contrast to the large, well kept palaces that we had toured. Also, it was really interesting to see families of wild boar wandering around with their babies.
