Living at an Airport - Day 4

Here are elevators that you take to get from the airport to the Hilton. One simple press of a button and you're out of the freezing airport. 35F and no heater in sight. People are all bundled up.

Can I get a free flight from Vienna? Yes! Can I get a free hotel room? Yes. Check! The city is picture perfect though. Nestled in a valley between two mountain ranges, it's green, colorful, and everything you could want a place to be when the purpose is total work decompression. No major sightseeing, no expectations.
