Europe Trip: Vienna, Austria

Day 83: Ljubljana, Slovenia to Vienna, Austria. First snow!

A pretty drive where we past our first snow on this trip, and, the first (real) snow ever for Rafael!!!

Snow fight

Day 84: Exploring Vienna with the boys while Alex works

Always fun to use public transportation with these guys! They are so excited. The bus and subway network was a little tricky to understand but we got to where we wanted to go :-)

First stop: Schloss Schönenbrunn (Castle Beautiful well). A beautiful castle in Vienna, built 300 years ago with 1441 rooms :-) Now it also a great Christmas market in the front and we enjoyed some typical Austrian delights.

It was cold and the fountain was frozen

Strange looking mix of the pope and Santa?? gave out candy

First delight Gluhwein

While I enjoyed my hot wine the kids got some Kaiserschmarren

And of course some Mozartkugeln

Next stop (and the last): House of Illusions. This was surely the kids favorite! I could hardly make them leave and we got home a lot later than we had planned.

This "museum" was probably one of the boys' favorite places during this trip :-)
