vienna

So we said goodbye to London and flew to Vienna.
After getting the apartment sorted out and buying a few groceries, we had a wander into town.

I'll pad this out later, so here are some pics in the meantime.

St Stephen's Cathedral (or Stephensdom).


A carriage waiting for customers at Stephensplatz (outside the cathedral)


Dinner at Kix Bar


Space Invaders


Griffin outside Parliament


Statues on the Parliament roof


Women on a fountain outside Parliament... they are so gonna do it!


Kunsthistoriches Museum (Museum of Fine Arts) and Deb


Mozart Monument in Burgaarten


After a full day on our feet, Deb earned an icecream (which people in Vienna seem to eat for breakfast lunch and dinner)


This guy is a stud. No wonder this is Austria's drink!


Schönbrunn


Gloriette (Commemorating the 1775 victory over the Prussians at Kolin)


Not sure what this means, but it sounds great!


The big wheel is Riesenrad at the Prater fun fair


View from Riesenrad


The "Original" Sacher Torte. It wasn't bad as far as cake goes, but they're really milking the name.


Inside the State Opera House


Intermission. Time to squeeze in a bit of champagne.


And so we say farewell to Vienna. Land of ice cream, "melange" and wurst stands.
