Great flight (I like Austrian Airlines) and tranfers and a nice hotel in the centre of the city. Good internet connection near-by as well so chance to catch-up! Enjoying iced coffee at 10.30pm to cool off.
A bus tour this afternoon gave us a good idea of the layout of Vienna – a lovely city, big contrast between the old city encircled by the Ringstrasse and the new, a more relaxed atmosphere here but it’s pumping tonight and we have been entertained in our room by a very good band over on the rooftop on the Albertine Museum.
I enjoyed the shops this pm. We had the hugest schnitzels for dinner tonight – filled the entire dinner-plate and hung over the side as well – needless to say I only ate 2/3 of mine! Accompanied by a delicious potato salad which I will try to re-create at home and mixed greens. A good walk afterwards was required!

Hey Gilly
Just wondering… Have you had to upgrade your suitcase yet?

Delz – you would be very welcome to borrow my new big red suitcase if you like for you long weekend in Melbourne. Might help you bring all your shopping home!
