To many, this country stirs up images of waltzes, old architecture, serene lakes and high meadows, snow-capped mountains, and perhaps little children running along singing songs from The Sound of Music?!
Well, Austria is all this and much more. Despite the rather dismal weather when we arrive, there was so much to see and do, that we were completely exhausted by the time we had to leave. I slept 14 hours straight on the first night back home, and am still catching up with my sleep after one week!
We were in Vienna for about 6 days, then took a train to Prague for another 5 days, before coming back to Vienna for 3 days before leaving for home. From Vienna, we did side trips to Salzburg and the Danube Valley.
I shall attempt (yet again) to break up my trip into separate little posts, although I have severe doubts of my commitment! In the meantime, here are some pictures I took of Vienna.
Karntnerstrasse (the main shopping strip)
Schonbrunn Palace (summer palace of the ruling Hapsburgs)
Autumn Leaves
Naschmarkt
Scrumptious Cakes and Coffee
My favourite type of buildings.....old ones!
More in my next posts........hopefully.
