Vienna

We had only one day and evening in Vienna . I would love to return there someday. Impressive buildings, some serious shopping, museums, beautiful cakes and pastries, the Lipizzaner stallions and music, music, music.

Mozart Torte

I thought one of the best things in Vienna were the many coffee houses. They were very beautiful and stylish. Upon entering you could choose your pastry selection and the salesperson would make out a slip for you. then you sat down , ordered your coffee and handed over your chit. Soon your delicious Mozart Torte arrived. You could also go in the back and stare through the plate glass windows and check out the bakery action. I loved it

We attended a great concert with Mozart and Strauss selections, some ballet and opera pieces as well.

This figure was in the window of the coffee-house we went to. Her skirt was made of chestnuts and the bodice of chocolate frosting.

Get a load of this fraulein's
hat.

Again the coffee-house

A horse-drawn fiaker which we did not get to ride in.
