Czech Republic now Austria. Final chapter

One never knows what one may stumble into, especially when you are not in the country of your origin. After successfully going in nearly a complete circle, Alice and I found out way to Prater. Basically is it is a Valleyfaire without the entrance fee. One would think that after 48 hours in a city, we would have had a better sense of direction.  Thank goodness for the river Danube. One landmark that is never changing.... :)

Our successful navigation to this wonderland of sorts brought us to our first order of business. Ride the 100+ year old Ferris wheel - wiener riesenrad. Very fun!  Much worth the 9 €. We even anted up for the 9€ photo.  The views were really cool of the Vienna city below. After the wheel ride, we walked by a few rides and were thankful to NOT be on them. Whew.  On a swing chair about 3x higher than the needle at the Minnesota state fair, eeeek!!! 

On our way through the neighboring park, we had the good fortune to wander into a little celebration. It was a collaboration of 3 bands and folk dancer troup. Very cool!  This was certainly one of the many trip highlights. 

On to our daily imbibing, and snug in for the evening, for tomorrow we traverse back to Norse land of Minnesota.  With any luck, all flights will be flying tomorrow. 

Enjoy your last glimpses of the wonder of Austria. 

There really are people in those swings up there!!!

Thank you for traveling with us!!  

'Till next time.....
