I suppose that is what brought me to walk up and down the entire length of the longest shopping street in Vienna (also known as Mariahilferstrasse), an occurrence I am embarrassed to say I have never experienced before. I suppose like many others I have never really had the chance to do so but I must say it is well worth it.

Then as I began my decent back down the street towards the famous "Peek and Cloppenburg" in order to find a dress (last minute of course), I happened upon a dress shop called "Joppich" which look perfectly well stocked and definitely less expensive than Peek and Cloppenburg where I would expect to pay over 200 Euros for a decent dress. Imagine my luck when I look over and right there on the rack is the most amazing dress I have ever seen staring me right in the face. It was the last one left and it was my size, the only question now was would it actually fit me because you never know. Clearly someone in charge likes me because the dress fit and it only cost 99 Euros which is much less than I expected to pay.

So my work was done. I had found a dress, I already had shoes, a bag, a necklace and earrings to match and so I decided to walk all the way down the street to Museums Quatier. On the way I saw a charming bicycle which I half intended to steal (although not really, it was just a fleeting thought) of which there is a picture below.
If I hadn't walked all the way to the top of Mariahilferstrasse, then I never would have found that amazing dress and I wouldn't have finally seen the top of the street and I also wouldn't have seen that awesome pink bicycle. Basically, I just wanted to say that good things can come from walking and people should definitely do it more often.
