Finally we're in a city whose name I already know. Vienna is the capital of Austria, and later tonight we'll have the special treat of attending a Mozart & Strauss orchestral performance. For today, we walk over to the subway station and take the Red Line (the U1 train) into the city center to see the Hapsburg Winter Palce and other sights.
The Opera House
The Winter Palace
You could tour the city by carriage, but we didn't.
Stopping for Melange coffee and apple strüdel at a sidewalk café.
Suz shopping for an embroidered purse.
At the Museum of Natural History where Matt marvels over the size of a dinosaur leg ...
... and the largest sea turtle ever.
We also saw the end of the national bicycle race, the Tour of Austria, which ended in Vienna! Debb couldn't figure out why they didn't all crash into each other, such was their speed and how tightly they were packed.
