Festive thumbs up

We're away. We're in Melbourne international airport looking for whoever put a grand piano here, around bored children with no rhythm, and then walked away. We'd like to wring their neck. The 14 hourWeiterlesen
Get innnnn

Very tall bloke in the window seat decided he'd try his luck for an aisle seat elsewhere on the plane (successfully it turned out) which gave us the row to ourselves - bewdy! 6.5 hours Abu Dhabi toWeiterlesen
14 hour flight down

This ridiculous beer was the price we happily paid to snag a booth next to a screen showing the football. We'll stake this out until our connecting flight to Munich, for which I saved Home Alone, toWeiterlesen
Baggage claim and Christmas wonderland?

Walked out of Munich airport to a Christmas market which made the time I'd carved out before the train wonderful! Many doggos.
Currywurst

Found a currywurst. Look at the face on it.
48 hours

Since we were in a bed. Nearly there.
Hallo Hundertwasserhaus

Ducks and that

Salonplafond

Rich is pretty tickled by that photo of me with the currywurst. I think we're both in a better mood now we've had our first meal in Vienna.
Salonplafond is the restaurant attached to a designWeiterlesen
Up Wien

Wien v Wolfsberg today, ended 1:1 after an early goal from our boys (Wien obviously) and we got to see Jimmy the Australian subbed in during the second half
Purple sky at night...?

Rathausplatz Christmas Market

Are you kidding me with this, honestly. Disney. This Christkindlmarkt is one of the big boys, and we walked past several little ones afterwards. Mulled wine v nice but honey wine even better. You payWeiterlesen
More Christmas market

The walk home

Via two more Christmas markets, a fancy mall area, two long thin doggos, and eventually, two electric scooters which whipped us along the final kilometre for about 4 euro, which is reasonably steepWeiterlesen
Jet lag!

It's 3.30am and we are done trying to pretend to sleep. Going to enjoy a bit more of Branna's amazing surprise and wait for sunrise (four hours) 😍🥂
Cafe Diglas

Gorgeous, tasty. I'd seen Cafe Diglas in a video about cafe culture - we ordered a cliche yet delicious melange and apple strudel and sat for a while.
Old things feat. Nuff

Yes please

Nobody is more extra than this woman. No. Bod. Y.
End of the walking tour

We went on a 2 hour afternoon walking tour of some key sights, mostly related to the various royal buildings and history of the holy Roman empire. This was where the tour finished, in the JewishWeiterlesen
Karlsplatz Christmas Market

Richard & a bout of ennui at the concert

Schonbrunn Palace

As we learned on the walking tour yesterday, this was the summer palace, and we had fun exploring the grounds, scrunching through the gravel admiring the disciplined hedging (Richard particularly,Weiterlesen
Palmenhaus take 2

We found the right one in the end. They had a set menu option of two courses for 16 euro so Rich got probably the tastiest tomato soup ever and pork with mushrooms and rice, and I got a kind ofWeiterlesen
Get rekt

This is the State Room of the National Library. Sweet babby cheesus.
Wandering around

... did you know it's the Christmas season?
