St Pölten, Day 2
Aug. 2nd, 2016 01:45 pmPoor Mum woke up to an unpleasant surprise today: she lost a loose tooth. It's fortunate that she didn't swallow it in her sleep, but as it is one of her front teeth, she is still unhappy about it, the poor thing.
After breakfast we went back to the historic city cente and saw practically everything there is to see. I made lots of photos that I'll post later. Then we had excellent coffee in a beautiful café, and I even found some classic!Who DVDs in the local Müller's.
We had midday meal in the hotel restaurant and took an extended break afterwards. We intend to go and see the Art Nouveau synagogue in the afternoon.
Edit:
We saw the synagogue - from the outside. It no longer fenti one as a temple and can only be visited in groups an at certain times. Too bad, I would have liked to Compared its inside with the one in Budapest.
We went to the funniest ice cream shop i've seen so far, though. You get a paper cup and you can prepare it any way you want. There were dozens of toppings and sauces and decorations and cubed fresh fruit, not to mention seven different kinds of ice creme. In the end, you put your cup on the scales and pay depending on the weight of the stuff you heaped into it.
We had pineapple and wild berry ice cream with brownie crumbs, strawberry and kiwi cubes and crushed baiser as toppings and caramel sauce. It was glorious. We decided to repeat the experience at least twice more. It isn't cheap, granted, but only slightly more expensive than regular ice cream - and the simply can't be compared!
