GIMNAZIJA FRANCA MIKLOŠIČA LJUTOMER TRAVEL JOURNAL: Tina Berden 2.c Vienna is a city, where many Slovene have left their own work or creation. Pupils of Gimnazija Franca Miklošiča Ljutomer have decided, that we are going to Vienna and there researching these things and see some new things. I am barely waiting on excursion, because I have never been in Vienna Slika 1: Austria before. My friends told me, that is Vienna a very beautiful city and also very close. I expected that I will learn something new and see some of sights, because Vienna is very famous about this. Our excursion had begun on 20. April at 6 O´clock AM, when we were driving with bus to Vienna. We will see some sights of Vienna and at the same time have some fun. On a trip there were also our class theacher Miss Bigec, Miss Bale and Mrs. Jakelj. Ofcourse, we woudn´t have seen Vienna whithout our tourist guide who we had picked up in Slika 3: Natural history museum Vienna Gornja Radgona. After about four hours of driving we arrived in Vienna. When we were driving to Slovenian ambassade, we had a great view of Vienna buildings. They really looked very beautiful. Houses were very big and with rich ornaments. City is full of theaters and museums. I think the people here are very delighted for culture and they looked very friendly. Slika 2: Dinosaurus in Natural history museum in Vienna First we are going to Slovenian ambassade. We have expected very big building, but an ambassade is very small. It is big like two apartments. Despite small place people were receiving very friendly. They have told us what to do, when you lose your documents and some other useful things. After that we were going to Natural history museum Vienna. There we had two hour of free time for looking gigantic collection of minerals and stuff animals. Animals were mainly here. We have seen a lot of them from small flea to gigantic elephant. The most beautiful for me was Slika 4: National bouquet of jevels, which Marija Terezija had made as a library Vienna present for her husband. There is also stone of the Moon, but we didn´t see to then. When we looked the museum we were going to Vienna national library. Here we had seen an original betrayal of Katekizem from Primož Trubar from year 1550. After that we had some free time for dinner and shoping. In the end we had visited Slovene scientist institute in Vienna. Whit this was finished our first day. We had arrived to hotel in which we had slept then. Next day we arrived to Schönbrun. This was the summer home for Marija Terezija and her family. Slika 5: Schönbrun Here exhibition of rooms from time of Marija Terezija and beautiful parks around palace were shown to us. It was amazing. Only the bedroom of Franc Jožef II. had looked very sad. Then we were arrived to Vienna university. Here we were looking busts of importmant mens for university. We have also found Franc Miklošič statue. At the end are we went to Prater. There are we had three hours free time. We ere driving with train of dead and visited house of frightes. It was very adrenalinly and fun, but it was also very expensive. Slika 6: We and Franc Miklošič statue At he end have we sat on bus and drove to home. On the bus had we short quiz for OIV hours. We are arrived in Ljutomer about 9 O´clock PM. We were very happy, because we had great time in Vienna and because we bought a lot of souvenirs. For me the best of all was Natural history museum Vienna. The most of animals I knew from pictures in enciklopedias, but I was imagining some of animals bigger or smaller. I didn´t like Slovene scientist institute in Vienna. I think this is only students home and not an institute. It Slika 7: Prater was a question how do you live in this home. The man who was introducing this institute, said, that you have to have good luck, if you want to come live in this institute. I think you need to have a good conection for living in institute and this is not fair for students who doesn´t have a lot of money or connection. In these two days I have learned many things. I have never known that Schönbrun was only summer residence for a king family and they have in the city a palace from 18 other palaces. Vienna is very beautiful city. There are many museums and palaces. There also work a lot of Slovene, that why Vienna is also little Slovene city. Slika 8: We in Schönbrun
