The Good Life in Vienna....

The next stop on the marathon was in Vienna. I had been there briefly before, but was sick then. So this was my chance to see the city properly. While very pretty, I was surprised how many tourists there were. But everyone was very nice and Annie and I had a great time.



Me in front of Vienna's stutue to Mozart.



We went on a tram ride around the city and saw this old church.

Opera House














Best Desert of the trip at Demel's. A lovely mousse covered in chocolate with a crunchy base, and Gold flecks on top. So rich and creamy. And a perfect latte.

The kitchen and staff behind all their wonderful creations.


The palace and riding school.



Part of the royal family's china collection.



Roayl family sitting room.

The King's room.
The Queen's room.


The Palace.






Lunch. Cheesy sausage, roll, and a Fanta.


The Royal jewels.

And your parents always said money didn't grow on trees. They were right, gold does. Look whose laughing now?



At the park.
