Wien and Wein.

 Another overnight sail saw us arriving into Vienna in time for breakfast - although we were worried for a moment or two if they would be able to FIND the place. The  morning did clear and it was brisk.



Coach into town for the obligatory trip around the ring road and walking tour. 




During our visit to St Stephens a choral mass was occurring and I enjoyed the music for some time. Sadly it was the horses day off (making 2/2 visits to Vienna where I didn't get to see them).





It was BITTERLY cold (actual -10, felt like -14) so we decided to go back to the boat for lunch and then head out again to the markets in the afternoon after we had thawed out. 





We were glad we were not the person who was left behind when the evening coach left early (although why she didn't just get the train to the port and walk the 250m to the boat instead of panic stations I don't know!).

One final thought on Wien and Wein -  a new Christmas goal, I am not normally crafty but I could be to make one of these!
