Vienna


We had a really nice weekend in the autumnal weather of Vienna. The forecast was for rain, but we had 2 dry days before being washed out on Sunday. The last couple of weeks the temperatures seem to have been OK as well, but we were treated to single figures on Sunday.

The hotel was lovely, the coffee and cakes great and the city itself was really nice too with plenty to see for a weekend, if not much more.


We saw the famous Spanish riding school doing their morning exercises on Saturday morning, it made me sneeze and was rather dull in my view, but MK has wanted to see them since she was a girl.


There are lot of buildings to look at including a rather impressive cathedral. On Sunday we sheltered from the rain by going into the Albertina art gallery to see a Warhol exhibition and their (surprisingly) impressive permanent stuff which was housed in a really impressively decorated old building.

All in all it was great to get away for the weekend and we have well and truly done Vienna. I can wait a while before we need to go back again.
