Once back from Prague,
we had a couple of days left to enjoy more of Vienna.
Our first stop was a visit to the interior of Augustinian Church
I have spent a number of hours in libraries during my life,
but I have never seen one as beautiful as
 |
| This globe was created in 1693 by Vincenzo Coronelli, a noted cartographer |
 |
| A few of the famous Lipizzaner stallions! |
We continued our walk and visited Hofburg
which is the former principal Imperial Palace.
Going back to a dark time in history, Hitler stood on this balcony addressing the Austrian people
To finish off a lovely day, we headed by train to Baden bei Wien,
where our hosts had invited us to their home for dinner.
 |
| The Opera House |
 |
| Mozart lived here! |
Helma prepared a fabulous meal
 |
| Seafood risotto |
After dinner we browsed their personal library and came across this legal tome from 1734!
Another superb day!
Our last day in Vienna up next.
