    November 28 in Austria ⋅ 🌙 1 °C

    Early start this morning meeting for our city tour at 8.30. Man it was cold. The sun was out but the air really crisp. At some stage during the day my phone said it was 2 degrees. We started in the bus driving past several notable buildings and getting comentary then hopped off and walked through the central city. There were many tour groups like ours so that made the streets quite congested and difficult to navigate at times. Vienna has lots of very large gorgeous heritage buildings which are now museums art galleries parliament university city city government. The building are all white sandstone and have to be kept clean because they are UNESCO world heritage sites, and thats the rule. I've given you a few random photos but can't tell you what the buildings are sorry. After the walking tour finished Leah and I went to a large Christmas market and then Leah very cleverly escorted me back to the boat by underground trains. Tonight we have been to a classical concert which we loved. It was only 90 minutes long and had a bit of ballet, opera and of course music played by 8 musicians. They played tunes we knew and added a bit of humour, so it was a nice relaxing enjoyable concert in a beautiful wood paneled room. We are so glad we went. Forgot to mention when we walked through town we passed the stables of the Spanish horses. I'm.sure you know the white ones that perform. If you zoom the photo you'll see a white head. Tonight we cruise to Bratislava capital of Slovakia.. looking forward to the later start tomorrow of 9.30. Yahhh a lie in. 👏Read more
