One more day in Vienna

A short trip outside of the city to Schonburnn Palace in search of a maze and labyrinth.  After finding out the maze hedges have any leaves we went for a stroll.

More Vienna

After moving hotel to a much nicer part of town we set out to see some more sights but only after a quick snack.  This was the tastiest pizza we have had since Australia and for desert I had to try an 'ice cream' cone in the middle of winter, it turned out to be mock cream.



Now for some sites.

2 Days in Vienna


Before we went to Berlin for NYE Noran and I wanted to have a look around Vienna, so we planned a short visit. It was cold but you soon got used to that and we had fun looking around the city and the outskirts.  Being Christmas all the lights and decorations were up and the city looked amazing at night.

We found our way back the hotel after a quick look around town.
