Vienna - end of the adventure


Overcast with Sunshine!

Mexican Catherdal





Vienna--took a combination of a bus tour and walking tour around town this morning.  It was finally good to have the sun come out and have to take our jackets off.


Vienna Opera House









Natural History Museum
Queen Marie Theresia













Athena statue

Vienna Rathaus or Town Hall






















Most of our day centered around the St. Stevens Dom area.  Plenty of shops, food, and sight seeing.  The Dom, the Palace, the Palace Gardens, and the City Building just to name a few.

Find the longest German Word

26 Letters in this word but still several short to win the contest



Finally, we have traveled all over the world to find a rose garden in bloom!



This afternoon we took the subway back to the area.  Sat at an open air café with our tour guide, Anke and had enjoyed a pleasant afternoon with nowhere particular to go.
End the trip by catching rays for the first time on the sun deck with the UN
and other government buildings in the background.

Tonight our trip ends and the long trip home begins.  Our bus leaves at 4:00 am for the airport.  If that isn't fun enough we have a 1 1/2hour lay over in Paris - hopefully, we can master the maze and make our connection.
