Arriving in Vienna

I am knackered. And too hot. I have arrived at my hostel in Vienna which is quite far out of the centre so I got a 48hr U-bahn ticket coz my feet are knacked. I'm going to chill at the hotel for a while and then head to the centre ville. I know that's French, but I cant remember what the German is. I could tell you in Arabic but I dont have the right keyboard for that.
I had a nightmare-ish journey. Not a really bad nightmare, like when you get eaten by a wolf but a mild one where you get bitten by one.
After the whole bus saga, the train got to Westbahnhof like an hour late. Then I got the underground which was fine but then I went in completely the wrong direction out of the end station, twice. My rucksack was hurting my shoulders,  I was sweating like a pig and my blistered feet were giving me grief. It made 500m seem like 500 miles, especially with the bag arrangement. I had a rucksack and then a heavy cloth bag which was a real struggle to carry. I almost cried with relief when I arrived at the hostel.
I was expecting to be in an 8 bed dorm but I'm actually in a two bed room (bunks of course) which current only houses me. I've made myself right at home; flung everything on the floor and bagged the bottom bunk. Hopefully I'll sleep alot better tonight than previous nights.
I had a nap on the bus between stations because I was so tired. I only woke up coz we went flying over a bump and I almost fell off my seat. Talking of naps, I think I might have one now and then go off and explore the hostel. Apparently it has a vending machine....

Before I could even close my eyes, a whole load of German kids starting shouting outside my room. Do you think it would be wrong to punch them?
