Kirche St. Rochus und St. Sebastian

When we arrived on Sunday, most of the shops, supermarket, attractions were all closed. So we utilised the time to do our washing and have an early dinner at a Vietnamese restaurant that was open called Viet Soup, because we had tickets to see Tosca at the State Opera House.

The performance was amazing. To see the performance of this standard live was really quite exhilarating. We were seated in the lower box, and though we were at the back of the box, we were much closer to the performance. We felt this closeness to stage made a big difference to the whole experience.

Today we went to the art galleries of the Upper and Lower Belvedere Palace. The highlights were Gustav Klimt's, and Egon Schiele's works. There were also Monet, Van Gogh and beautiful artworks displayed in beautiful rooms of the Belvedere. It was distracting that the paintings were hung in beautifully frescoed rooms, not being able to decide where to look.

Distance walked yesterday was 11.6km and today 11.3 kmRead more
