Samstag, 18 Jänner
Started of the day with a Naschmarkt adventure, where the local flee market appears Saturday. It was packed, and the items exquisite:
I treated myself to a lovely traditional Turkish breakfast at one of the cafes. Not bad for 5,80 Euros!
Then IES provided a bus tour of Vienna. Some of the sights:
 |
| Church with a famous Beethoven- deafness story, in the district where Beethoven lived in many of the apartments. |
 |
| Beautiful Neo-Gothic Cathedral. |
 |
| Blue Danube ain't lookin' so blue. |
 |
| Vineyard in winter. |
 |
| One of man adorable houses. |
 |
| Vienna University | |
 |
| Summer Palace's Guest House. I wouldn't mind being a guest here! |
 |
| Anton Bruckner died here. |
 |
| In this very house. |
Then we saw the Kunst House apartments. WILD.
 |
| A real live red phone booth! |
 |
| Gotta love kukoo clocks. |
Then I went to see Tchaikovsky's opera Pique Dama, or Queen of Spades, at the State Opera house. I felt like I'd stepped back into the Titanic Era.
