Jut got back from a Viennese supper at the Heuriger Reinprecht Restaurant in Grinzing just outside of Vienna since 1678. We had Viennese supper with all the special dishes that you would expect. I would name them but there were to many to mention. We had Violin and Accordian players during the supper. We dined in a restaurent that was built in 1678. As we entered we were greeted with history of European celebrities that frequented in the early years which we did not know. However I noticed the 3000+ collection of the biggest wine cork screws in the world that were displayed on entry. My kinda place to be sure.

We felt no pain tonight as we drank Reisling red wine.

During the day we arrived in Vienna at 1 pm and promptly hit a Macdonalds. Shame , shame, shame.. I know. Woe is me...

But to counter this we hit another McCafe and had a Cappuccino. Lol We just cannot escape it.

We started out the day with 250 Kms to drive. On our way we had to detour because of an accident along the way, so we ended up arriving an hour late.

We headed out for a walk after we arrived in Vienna actually written "Wein" and landed at a park with a small lake and meandered towards the city center by following a Japanese tour group. I was shamed. Boo Hoo. They knew how to get there and I faked it by following them.



We were mildly surprised that it paid off and landed us at the market where we could play and we spent our remaining time at the square where the bulk of tourists were. That is not to say that it was really touristy , but to say that the best of Vienna was where we were unbeknownest to us until we followed the tour group.

Eventually we followed a "square patterned" walk and ended up where we started from. All stores repeated themselves after awhile and we became bored. We later spent time at a man - made water sprinkler and went back to sleep before the supper.



Partying with 60 year olds and over felt like we belonged. Ha ha ha ha h ha ha ..................
