Peasants and Nobles

Hello friends and family,

So goes the journey....The rains finally let up last late this morning. Apparently they were pretty bad and all of the surrounding wineries were flooded today. Good thing we didnt book one of those tours (maybe monday). This morning we went to a giant outdoor flea market and farmers market. There was a tonne of stuff that we wanted to buy at the flea market, but there was no way we are going to cart it around for the next five weeks. There was also plenty of wierdos too. This one guy was selling a bunch of old remote controls and cpu boards ripped out of computers. The food at the farmers market was unreal mmmmmmmmm goooood. Heather went to buy a kebab for breakfast and the man enticed me into buying one too. It wasnt that hard I suppose. It was huge and delicious. It reminded me of that Saturday night live stetch with Bill murray and John Belushi where they are yelling cheeseburger, cheeseburger, cheeseburger....these guys kept yelling kebab, keeebab, kebab, kebab. After the market we went up to Schönbrunn Schloss Castle--the summer house of the Hopfsberg dynasty. It was quite fantastic. Not that big, only 1100 rooms. The tour took about an hour and it was 40 of them. No pics inside unfortunatley. I couldnt even sneek any. I hope the photos work.

Over and out,

Colin

'Hallo' - German for 'Hi', useful in Austria, if you're feeling comfortable with the locals
Hey guys, Just wanted to update you - all moved in, unpacked and really chuffed with the place - can't wait to have you over. Thought you might be interested to hear that storage shelving was the biggest test for us too - it made me want to go on a killing spree. All good now though. Dan
