Vienna in Easter fever

[wiseheart]

So, Mum and I made a quick day trip to Vienna yesterday. It was somewhat turbulent, as international trains now arrive at the new central railway station, which is a lot less practical for us than the old Westbahnhof was, but we managed. We were both deadly tired upon returning home - me, too, as it is not easy to stroll across town with an elderly person who can only walk very slowly due to her legs, and you have to support her, too - but happy. We saw amazing things in Vienna.

For those without a Pinterest registration, here are a few pics:

The Longear FC at training:



Stone bunnies on Mariahilfer Street:



Huge Lindt goldbunnies floating in the air from the ceiling of the Gerngross department store:



Detail from the amazing Lindt exhibition in said department store (basically, chocolate with chocolate):



Lindt plushies in a spring garden:



A festive shop window of the famous Demel Café:



I've uploaded more photos to Pinterest but wanted to give an appetizer those who aren't registered. Have fun! :)

They were about a metre talll and they moved, too, every single one of them. It was very funny.

What fun! The eggs in the last photo are especially eye-catching. The Beloved, who does scenic carpentry and stage sets, enjoyed having a look, too. I'm glad you and Mum got out to Wien!

I'm glad you both liked the photos. The eggs are a bit harder to see, due to the houses on the opposite site of the street reflecting in the shop window, but still nice, I think.

Vienna is for me the most amazing city I év ér visited. Even after more than 40 years, I never grow tired of returning there. I saw lots of beautiful places but Vienna is unique.

What a wonderful day trip! Sounds like you had a great day, even being exhausted at the end of it.

Yay! Give your Mama my regards! I still regret that we didn't meet the time Mum and I were in Hamburg.

Edited cuz my grammar sucks!
