Ah Vienna....... A beautiful city, very clean wonderful buildings, wide boulevards, palaces the lot.
Spent an evening at the opera in the Lobkowitz Palace, stunning place where Beethoven had conducted. The singers were so expressive.
The ship's lounge.
Wandered around the palaces, saw the Lipitzaner horses, only stallions because the presence of mares causes disruption & fights.
Sat in the park and admired the statuary, especially the golden Strauss only disfigured by posing Koreans???
We waited around for the coach back to the park but we would have been better walking back and taking a trip on the Wine Ferris wheel. Can you hum the Harry Lime theme?
Melk abbey underlines the money that the Catholic Church has. I think Henry VIII may have had a point. The walk up to the abbey was very demanding, a lot of steep steps Linda did well - red, exhausted, but well.
