We´re coming to the end of our two days (three nights) in Vienna and it´s bloody marvellous! The picture above is of us with Susie and Mannie (hope I´ve spelt the names right!), who took us round town, entertained us for dinner in the museum district and Buchteln in Cafe Hawelka - v famous cafe run by the same couple for sixty years etc etc. Susie went to Durham so the tenuous connection was enough to get us an introduction. Lovely people they are too!
Just kinda been dossing around today not doing much. Nice place to do it mind. The penguins are having to get used to new food. This was made clear to them at the start so I don´t know what they´re complaining about. In the end we had to eat the strudel for them (see below).
Yesterday we went on a bike ride, got lost and ended up in the woods. We were hoping to get to the top of a big hill outside Vienna to see some amazing views:
We then whizzed down through the vinyards and wineries (most of which were closed):
We demanded wine off one poor vintner anyway and bought a bottle of Viennese white more out of guilt than anything.
Can´t recommend Vienna enough.
Simon out.
PS People in Vienna are lovely and we ate sausage.
