On The Field: Boys ODP (Day 2)

Going into field for practice.
After a hearty breakfast at the famous hotel Meininger in downtown Vienna, both boys teams got in a training session at the First Vienna Football Club. The First Vienna Football Club is one of the oldest club in Vienna and their professional team is currently play the Austrian 2nd division. The boys trained on the artificial turf in the shadow of the 1st team's 25,000 seat stadium in order to shake off the effects of the long day of travel from the day before.
Lunch time.

After a nutritious lunch at the pro team's restaurant, the teams then embarked on walking tour of the old town portion of downtown Vienna. Hopefully the players were able to buy their parents a few gifts but based on the amount of gelato that was consumed, they are hoping for another opportunity to shop.

Back at the Meininger, chef Heinrich prepared a quality dinner of tortellini, chicken and salad. The boys are now off to bed with an early curfew as both team's 1st matches loom large for tomorrow. 

Everyone is healthy, happy and tired.
