VIENNA

19 & 20 October:
VIENNA:
Here we are sitting at Vienna Airport, on our way to Denmark. The last 2 days were tour Vienna days, and we gave it a good going over, we also changed hotels for the last night, to Hotel Imperial, a lovely place to stay. Yesterday was to the Spanish Riding School at the Hofburg , in the Volks-garten. This was there training sessions for the horses, in the indoor arena, there were people everywhere, and you weren’t supposed to take video, but I found that out after I took some, so that doesn’t officially count.
Then we hit the shopping mall in town, up to St Stephans platz. Then back for a power nap before heading out for dinner, what a great city this is for food, great stuff!!! Today we got up packed,, got breaky (coffee at Nespresso Gallery) then off to this funky grocery store, ordered our breaky rolls, hand made from huge cabinets of food to choose from. Hum… did I mention this place has amazing food. , off to Sacher Hotel for some famous Sacher-torte!! Then we hopped on the tram that does the tour around “The Ring” and that was great, saw lots of great buildings and history, including the one that housed the Gestapo in WW2, (see pic). Then we hit the underground for a trip to see more of the area around the Volks-garden, then back to pick, up our bags and head to the airport. Next bog from Denmark.
