Alte Donau

Well it's Election Day at home, and here it was shopping day for me. I learned how to use the U1 line as I was searching for a particular shop. Unfortunely the shop only sold huge sizes so I was disappointed but did walk 11 miles round Vienna. Seeing some brilliant sights.
Met up with Paul and Yves and the work shop youngsters for a fascinating tour of the josephenium, the Kaiser who collect wax models for anatomy purposes was Kaiser Joseph, he traveled widely as he had a sister in France (Marie Antoinette) and a brother in Italy. The wax models were very beautiful as they were imported from Italy and had their flair for statues as a basis for the models. One was laid out like a Michael Angelo statue showing the lymph nodes. We then were shown the rise and fall of the automatic heart. We sat outside in a little bar called Ambulanz and enjoyed some more typical Austrian food and beer and wine. Got a taxi home.Läs mer
