Vienna

We have trod the majestic streets of Vienna and had our cameras very busy. Everything is very grand here and dates back to a bygone era of wealth and culture. There are evidences of that in local people dressed up in historic customes, selling tickets to the many theatres to attend classical performances. We sampled some of the local fare, schnitzel of course, and viennese hotdogs, a very strong garlic flavour. At Hofburg Palace there was a gala happening with music, local foods and drinks. We went back there later to taste some for ourselves. Heading to Innsbruck today for an overnight stay to catch the connecting train to Venice. We are looking forward to seeing some mountainous scenery on the way, and resting our slightly weary legs. Definitely think we are getting fitter with all the walking, though we had to give Lyn a breather in a park at one point yesterday while Delwyn and I went on a quest to Belvedere. Lyn said she did a lot of blind staring! Happy Birthday to Ava for the 11th. We were thinking of you and hope you had a fun day. Jac and Hannah, can you email Delwyn at the gmail address so she can get in touch with you. Henry and Monica, was great to see a bit of Czech countryside and enjoyed our stay in Prague, loved the Charles Bridge... Delwyn Lots of love to our followers out there...

  1. Cool to see you're having such a great time, Meryl! Johnny's reading over my shoulder, wishing we could've had longer for our last year's holiday! Love and hugs.
