Day 1
Budapest
October 27, 2023 in Hungary ⋅ 🌧 15 °C
After our wonderful neighbour Nigel dropped us at the station we hopped onto the Elizabeth Line for Heathrow T3. After a hassle free check in and security we head to the No 1 Lounge for a bite to eat and a glass of wine. A vast improvement on the usual hanging around at the airport. Part of our package otherwise, sadly, it's quite pricey.Read more
Traveler Sounds like a very superior experience

Our flight is slightly late landing. Collect bags then coach to the boat. Lovely room 321 but no time to stop. Can't unpack don't have case. Dinner is being served. Head straight to restaurant. Goodness it's all go on this wrinkly tour!Read more
Traveler What a splendid room! Love the cranes behind your bed. Hope you'll have more time to enjoy your immediate surroundings today and your cases have arrived .........

Traveler The room is lovely - lots of storage space very well thought out. Everything is included - tips, trips, and most importantly, drink. Downside - too many old people!

Traveler Who's your gentleman friend? We loved Budapest. The Jewish Quarter's also fascinating but the memorial "shoe" sculpture on the river bank very harrowing.

Day 5
It means nothing to me...Oh Vienna...
October 31, 2023 in Austria ⋅ ☁️ 13 °C
We are on our own today! Vienna Passes dangling around our necks we head for U Bahn Taubstummeng (I thought it was something to do with a pigeon but maybe not). A short walk and we arrive at the Belvedere. Some excellent works here just before WW1 and between the wars. Off to the Klimt room where lots of people are crowded around one painting. Can't think why!

Time for a break. Café Belvedere 1 was heaving - as was the gallery by now - so we head out into the pouring rain (first bad weather day) down to Belvedere 2. Very few people here so we have a bite to eat in the cafe before a look at the Louise Bourgeois exhibition. Which surprisingly are mostly paintings rather than her sculptures.Read more
Traveler 🎸🎵 Bill recognised the Klimt immediately. Never a dull moment by the look of it!

Day 5
Albertina
October 31, 2023 in Austria ⋅ 🌧 11 °C
Tram and UBahn brings us to the centre. It's a public holiday today. Busy, busy as we wander around and find ourselves at the Albertina.

We'll just pop in we said and have a quick look round. Maybe come back tomorrow ... or another time. Hah! we didn't bank on the Batliner collection. Fab-u-lous!Read more
Traveler Ooh yes, the Batliner does look good.

Leopold Museum

Another day, another museum... Today it's the Leopold Museum. We start at the top and work our way down stopping for a coffee on the way. Lots of Egon Schiele here (Expressionism). He died aged 28 from Spanish flu, three days after his wife Edith who was six months pregnant.Read more
