Last Day in Vienna

Well, party time is nearly over. Tomorrow we head out of Vienna and should be in Sinking Spring by dinner time, if all goes as planned.

We spent a lot of time on our feet this Trinity Sunday. We walked through a park to attend Mass at a Cathedral in the middle of nowhere. And, then walked back to the hotel where we checked out to move to a hotel nearer the airport so that tomorrow's check in goes smoothly.

So, we packed up and moved all of the luggage to the new hotel, drove the rental car to the airport and dropped it off, got our boarding passes printed for tomorrow, took a fast train into Vienna, walked to Belvedere Palace (which was pretty far), toured the Upper Rooms, filled with fine art, walked into Vienna for dinner, took the tube, transferred to the train station, rode a train into Achau and walked from the station to the hotel.

The weather went back and forth from bright and sunny to cold and rainy to warm and sunny, cooling off for our trip back to the hotel. But, we had ponchos and raincoats so we were able to stay dry.

Our most exciting adventure today was dinner at a cafe in Vienna. We began dinner outside, but when three women decided to light up cigarettes, surrounding us on three sides, we decided to move indoors. And, what a treat that was! Little did we know that there were some entertaining musicians in the restaurant: a woman playing the piano, and an interesting fellow accompanying her on the violin. I've posted a video on my flickr account so that you can see for yourself the excitement of the evening.

As this draws to a close, I've enjoyed having blog followers along for the ride. I hope you enjoyed our adventures as much as we have. Thanks for checking in.
