Two days in Vienna and the legs are remembering how to walk. Monday was a rest day. We walked but not with a great deal of purpose. Not many photos either.
We took a river cruise along the Danube and went through a lock. Lach' was very excited. We did not complete the trip. We had just cycled 800km of the Danube and decided to catch the train back to town. The return trip was to be the same route.
My idea of Vienna was not as I thought. The city is a bustling centre and the area around Stephanplatz wasn't as 'Old' as I thought it would be. I thought some of the smaller cities and towns were 'Older'.
Our first port of call this morning was the post office. It is far cheaper for excess baggage that Emirates! We then headed to the Natrual Museum, only to find,outfit is closed on Tuesday. Well it is now our second port of call on Wednesday.
We then visited Mozarts house and museum in town. It was a very big house with the tour starting on level 3. I accidently said "bonjour" to the receptionist and she asked if we wanted the guides,in French. I chuckled and said English please. The audio guide was very good and it painted a good story of his life whilst in Vienna. His death is a mystery. What happened??.
The mid afternoon was in the shopping district. Got a couple of things and went back to pack. We appear to be well under weight. Will find out Wednesday morn when we drop our stuff off at the airport.
The evening was spent at the Ausperg Palace to watch a chamber,orchestra play a number of,pieces as well as a couple of singers and dancers. The lead violinist was playing a Stradivari violin from 1700, I think? You could pick out his sound! They played the Blue Danube, Lachlan leaned over and said remember the creek at Tuttlingen. :)
We went back into town for an ice cream. Vienna doesn't do ice cream!
Stay safe. We are.
Holiday huts for fishing. Within 20mins of the city centre.
Lachy getting ready for the lock!
Flower!
Main shopping precinct.
Ausperg palace. And Lachlan inside.
Language, is funny.

No comb. But we did have a left over bike cleaning brush..

So your plane will be taking off as we awaken at 6am, Thurs morning. I'll say a little prayer for your safe return before I get out of bed :) Really glad to be seeing you both soon but a little sad for you too - your cycling adventure is all but over, maybe you'll be able to have another adventure soon with a different family member (hint! hint!) and continue to add beautiful memories to your fortunate life :)
