Made it to Vienna

It is Sunday afternoon, and we've made it to Vienna. We had a nice train ride yesterday morning getting here, then located a bookstore to get our BK Vienna Travel guide, which we couldn't live without after using the Prague version. We had a wonderful dinner last night, then hit the sack early.

Today, we took the metro to the Hofburg Quarter for a day of site seeing, followed by some time in the Stephansdom Qurter. We toured the Habsburg palaces and garden's, saw the Dynasty's crown jewels, then visited the Albertina museum where we saw the works of Dali, Monet, Picasso, Klee, Degase, Kokoschka, and many more, in addition to touring several of the state rooms of the Habsbugs palace. Pretty interesting stuff.

Any how, no time for an elaborate post. We've got a full day tomorrow concluding with a concert in a fabulous concert hall where will hear some Mozart, Strauss, and others.

Cheers!
