Today we went to the
Schloß Schönbrunn which is a great big palace in Vienna. It was beautiful. Even in the winter, you could tell how the massive gardens might look in the spring time with all of the trees and flowers in bloom. The palace building itself was also an impressive sight. I liked imagining being on parade down the big streets in my fleet of horse drawn carriages each carriage getting more and more extravagant until mine arrives at last and the people who come to watch applaud as I exit mine in an equally as extravagant an outfit. Ahhhh... There was also a Zoo inside the palace walls and a butterfly house, but that wasn't open.
We saw Ahmed off to the airport and then went to go to dinner. On the way, we got sidetracked by some stores (shiny) and then headed to Fligmuller to get a Weinerschnitzel. From what Brad Hunter had told us, these were the best in Vienna and they did not dissappoint. Soooo good. Then we went right around the corner and had some ice cream at another recommended place. Also, soooo good.
Tomorrow we head to Budapest so we bid a fond Auf Wiedersehen to fair Vienna. Still one of my favorite cities!
So check out the photos of the day.

Looking down the gardens in the back yard to the nice structure on the hill.
Look how big the back yard really is.
