Onto Vienna and end of bus tour

Well we said goodbye to that lovely town of Cesky Krumlov 

final plan of bus tour and we crossed the border into Austria and had some free time in the afternoon 

Interesting name for a beer.....it is a Belgian pale ale style beer 

Some hot sauces at the restaurant where we had the beers 

Walked through the Stadtpark (city park) took a picture of Johann Strauss II just like last year only this one is much better. My Samsung S5 sure takes great pics ☺☺

Can't remember name of this one but loved the architecture 

Interesting a stage show

Amazing work on this building called Stubenring 

Apparently appartment.....fancy living here??

Looking back over the canal that eventually feeds into the Danube River 

That night we were taken to one of Austria's most famous restaurants and crossed over 

The mighty Danube ☺

 We were welcomed by these enthusiastic fellows ☺

It is an historic mansion but ones inside it is a different world 

Oh look one of my boys names ♥

and look at this entrance 

and boy did they have lots of stuff here lol 

fancy lights, photos/paintings everywhere 

Even antlers, pots and pans hanging and paintings on the ceiling.....so much stuff lol 

Old memorabilia, autographed photo you name it, it is probably here 

Selfie at the start of the night 

Clutter city ☺☺

anyone for ballet shoes??

Deer head and instruments 

and these pics were all in the men's bathroom (Paul took my phone in for snaps)

a bit over the top lol 

Fancy

but don't look to close as plenty of naked lol 

Violinist again to serenade 

and Piano Accordion 

We had a great night and enjoyed the company of others on our table 

Now my turn in the ladies bathroom and you can see others taking snaps in the mirror 

Amazing artwork 

and inside the toilet these are all over the walls 

interesting......but a great night for sure 

Next morning off in the bus 

To Maria Theresa Schonbrunn Palace....now we had been here before so we did our own walk around the park outside 

I got a snap of a squirrel up on the white part of fence 

and again on the black bit of fence but not to easy to see 

This statue was on the fence of the zoo, but we did not go inside as no time

Back on the bus and passing plenty of amazing building statues 

The Kunsthistorisches Museum and Statue as we pass on the bus 

Austrian Parliament building a horse tamer statue 

Rathaus city hall of Vienna 

always interesting labels on the diet coke  and we had a brief rest before being back on the bus 

Tour director Karl with one of the people from tour.....she volunteered to read out our meal choices we had chosen for tonight.....

We were heading to a concert Of Viennese classical music 

waiting for the performers 

and only this pic taken as none allowed during performance.....plenty of Strauss music ☺♥

chandelier in the hall 

more lovely architrave work 

I think this was a painting of Empress Sisi 

had a great final night and said goodbye to many as most of us were flying off to other places. Some were going to do a river cruise (like we did last year)....us we had a late flight next day to Edinburgh 

So in the morning we filled in our time with a good walk again past Strauss.....goodbye 

and we came across TGIF (Thank god its friday) casual chain restaurant (we have in Oz too)

and we sat under these memorabilia

Paul had a chicken salad 

and I of course wings with celery and blue cheese dip ☺

We then walked to St Stephen's Cathedral which is under repair wiki link to more information

neat architecture 

and as you can see hard to get close to this area......new paving also happening 

Isn't it grand....

and a mini replica along the street.....goodbye Vienna and bus tour xoxoxo
