The grandeur of the Opera House

..... the land of Mozart, The Waltz King and Strudel!

There are three things that I had forgotten about Europe ……. Just how many people here smoke ….. Just about every second person has a dog that they take everywhere with them …… And .... that you have to pay to pee! Smoking in public places has been banned in Australia for years – particularly in restaurants. Consequently, you tend to forget that it never was that way. In Europe, t ... read more

Travelblog: (worldmapmaker=369891) Addictions come in many forms. For us – it’s always been travel. Whether it be a week here and there holidaying in Oz with family or travelling the world to far-flung and exotic places. We have been very fortunate to have visited many countries throughout the world as well as also having seen much of Australia by trains, planes and automobiles (and also motorhome) but, still lots more to see. We haven’t even scratched the surface of this vast, magnificent country of ours. Our children (and now also grand-children) also share our passion ... full info

Opera House
Hi Dave & Merry Jo, Great to hear from you again. We always love to get your comments. Vienna - what a beautiful city and ..... ah! the strudel! :) If you should get the opportunity again, do go and see the Opera House. As you would have read in our blog, our visit there was a birthday present to myself to see the opera "Carmen" - fantastic. Even if you aren't an opera buff, you can always do a behind-the-scenes tour there. It is a magnificent building. Have to admit, this is one of my favourite photos. Have been a bit slack with blogs of late but, there will be more to follow. Stay tuned :) Cheers, Jan
