<em style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Day 219 Wednesday 24th August 2016 – Prague to Vienna Yahhhooo, we are finally getting out of this hell called Prague. Shelley refused to let me blog whilst in Prague (except for the transport museum), but now that I am let off the leash, let me say I will never ever set foot in this town again. If it wasn’t for the fact that my backpack was l... Read Full Entry

Yum!
Tasty looking little sandwiches--I love little bites of different flavors. Curious that Vienna was so less crowded than Prague, since both are really beautiful, cultured, and fabulous. But glad you got to see some old autos and catch an opera at a fab, free, outdoor film fest. For me, there was a lot nightlife--operas (standing room) in one of the most gilded opera houses ever. And visiting palaces is such a lovely way to sense the players and take in history. So happy you loved Vienna!

Oh Vienna
Both loved the place, and Shelley did want to do the standing in the opera thing but thankfully for me it didn't happen, but there is always next time. We probably should have pushed ourselves a bit more and seen a lot more but we just loved taking it at a slower pace, and Vienna to me was a joy to walk around.

Ok Scott, here's the deal - you haz chips, Shelley no haz chips...do you see where this is going? Hehe I had to laugh when I read about the soggy salad, I always go for the salad option and then end up eating half of Andrew's chips :) I don't at all understand the closing early in summer thing, but fabulous timing being there for the outdoor film festival. Loved this blog, and your love for the place clearly comes through in your beautiful photos!

Generally what happens with us is Shelley goes "how about we share this meal/drink" and of course you know who gets most of it and who goes hungry. Yes we really did love this town, and still cannot understand why millions trample each other to death in the streets of Prague when you have Dresden, Vienna and even Budapest so close, and they are all equally as beautiful and have a far better vibe.

Ah Vienna
We walked down memory lane reading your blog. This is a town we really liked and sounds like you did also. We listened to music every night and were pleased at the variety. Lots of wonderful museums and foods. We went on a self induced tort tasting and found many to our liking.

Ah Vienna
Before coming here I kept hearing that it was a boring town, and I could see how it gets that tag, but it also has heaps to do and if you scratch around it has a great night life. Unfortunately due to bad navigation we missed the music but I did listen to Ultravox Vienna every night to keep me in the mood. Absolutely love this town

Looking at your pic's takes me back to my time in Vienna, I absolutely loved it. It was the first European city I had ever visited and I was gobsmacked by it beauty and history. So glad you enjoyed it also x

Presents for the Mums was our subtle hint that they are impossible to buy for. As for Vienna, we agree with you that it was absolutely gorgeous and it had such a good vibe.
