Lazy Sunday Morning in Vienna

DH had an all day meeting yesterday...so I went to Mass at the cathedral then roamed the quiet streets of the city before the crowds appeared....

Vienna

Well, my life is rarely quiet...on Friday morning we flew to Vienna...(DH has a conference here this week and well he needed company!)

Here's a few pics from days one and two and as you can see I'm still keeping this champagne thing going (and will try and spread it out for as long as possible)...

Friday's lunch

This sign caught DH's eye

Fabulous restaurant on Friday evening

Moi with yet another glass of champagne!

Just outside the Spanish Riding School (watched them practice - so beautiful)

A little morning music

The rose garden in the Volkspark - the scent was amazing
