Imperial Vienna

Today we were off to the Hofburg Palace....

Some sights along the way







Into the Burgarten


The Mozart monument. There is a lot about him in Vienna, curiously though when he was born Salzburg was part of Germany.....
















The Spanish School Tours were booked up so we did the tour of the Silver Museum and the Imperial Apartments.








brunch!


Off to the Hoburg Butterfly house

















The New Town Hall or Rathaus....



the Votivkirsche





















Back to the Hogburg where I had the bright idea of booking us on to a tour of the Spanish Riding School tomorrow!!





A Lipizzaner (you can't take photos on the tour, got this from the road)



We had our afternoon at the Cafe Sacher..... Home of the Original Sacher Torte




Another good day.
