Return to Vienna from Krakow

I chose to return to Vienna while planning my trip because it was $1,000. cheaper to fly home from Vienna than from Krakow (even taking into consideration of the round trip flight from Vienna to Krakow)

I had thought against going to the Shonbrunn castle because I was tired, mind overloaded, although I am SO glad I did. What made up my mind is because they had giant pandas at the Royal Zoo (at the Shonbrunn castle) and I wanted to see one in real life (only one can be viewed now - the mother and baby are not available to public yet) Even though I only got a couple of glimpses of one of the pandas, it was worth the trip (besides viewing the lovely castle and grounds)
