A visit to Vienna

Tara outside of Hofburg, the Kaiser's palace in central Vienna.

Kim enjoying the sunshine in the park of Schloss Belvedère.

Tara, after watching an hour-long training session at the paddock of the Spanish Riding School in central Vienna.

Tara ordered gulasch and knödl and Kim is about to start chewing on half a boar leg and some Weissbier at a cute beerhall caled Müllerbeisl, away from the tourist district (= no server understood English).

W. A. Mozart statue in the Burggarten park.

During the intermission of the concert at the Musikverein.

Tara going over a few books she has not yet read, at the Prunksaal, the National Archives in Vienna.
Another view inside the Prunksaal.

What do Trotsky, Lenin, Freud and Nietzsche have in common? They all had breakfast at Café Central in Vienna. Kim enjoyed the atmosphere with the Emperess Sisi on the painting in the background.

A genuine Wienerschnitzel, served with lemon on the side, at Café Mozart, featured in Orson Welles' The Third Man.
