Vienna Day 2

Sun at last and we only had to wear 3 layers not 6! Vienna is full of elegant buildings and amazing sights around every corner. The Habsburg Dynasty certainly spared no expense! We finally bought a history book at our visit to the Schonbrunn Palace today to grasp what we are seeing. Coffee and sacher torte at the Landtmann Coffee House where Sigmund Freud spent many hours.
We had a dinner of Wiener schnitzel as big as the plate at the Gmoa Kellar Restaurant. From a guidebook, " The establishment itself is legendary: opened in 1858, it was run for forty years following the Second World War by two sisters, and many of the city’s famous and less famous artists were regulars here. When the proprietor, Grete Novak, died in 1999, even the “New York Times” took note of the event by publishing an obituary. "

  1. I remember visiting the Schonbrunn Palace, but I was there on a grey and rainy day. It looks much nicer in the sun! I like the yellow.
