Big Boots
Just a day after the Euro 2008 final, already the giant boots denoting each participating country are about to be removed

Big Wheel
The London Eye is based on the big wheel in Prata - they must have been thrilled to have their idea nicked

Which way is up?
A stone table in the park just infront of the Votive Church

Big Clean Up
The day after the Euro 2008 final - big clean up underway in the city parks

Mercure Wein Europlatz
Our first home from home in Vienna, the Mercure is in an excellent location close to the main shopping street and a twenty minute walk to the Museum Quarter

Prata Park
The park is a step back in time with its ancient rides and attractions

Shed in the air
The old wooden passenger compartments on the big wheel - think potting shed in the air

View of the city
The big wheel affords great views over the city

Thirsty Work
After miles of walking around Vienna a little light refreshment is the order of the day

Not like in England
Two gorgeous Austrian riot police ladies

Political protest
And nothing like a nice interesting demo to round off the day

Prisoners
Apparently all is not well in Austrian politics - demonstrators protest about political prisoners

All too much
Chris is all Vienna'd out
