Vienna, Austria: 4th-6th January 2008

For Diana's birthday we decided to head to Vienna, but no one had told us it was going to be -5C with -10C wind chill! We had a good Saturday wandering around the Imperial City, cafe hopping including a Sacher Torte, and nice meal for Diana's birthday. On Sunday we had tickets for mass with the Vienna Boys Choir and went out to Schonbrunn Palace and wandered around the icy gardens. It was a good weekend, although whether it was due to the snow, cold, or some european city fatigure, I found it a little underwhelming. Bring on the 30th!
