Czech Republic now Austria and more chapter 10

... Little by little, we are successfully acclimating back to busy city surroundings.  Certainly a very difference pace from the unesco world heritage villages along the Danube.  

... And then there were two.  Mark and Marcia are on their way back to the twin cities. Alice and I set out to explore some of the treasures here in Vienna. It is a plus when a WC can be found... :)

We scored primo seats for the 2 hour practice session of the Lippizaner horses and riders. Beautiful animals and amazing riding skills. Sneaked a few unauthorized photos for you.  Then off on the underground for the Schonbrunn Palace. The summer home of Austria's royalty. Yea, some little shack on the edge of town. The opulence was absolutely mind boggling.   Had a beer on the veranda and back to the underground, a bite to eat and sack out for the night. 

Enjoy a few visuals of today's adventure.   




Lobby of the opera house

The schonbrunn palace ... Would have interior shots... But probably would have lost my camera... Sucked it up and bought a few postcards...



The little understated veranda...


The daily double !!!

Tomorrow our last day of exploring Vienna. One never knows where we will explore....
