Cold day in Wien











So that's about it for photos right now. We're currently in Budapest and tomorrow we are on our way to Salzburg.

First Vienna highlights:

- Excellent coffee at a real kaffeehaus, with rude waiter and all the fixings
- Cheap tickets to the ballet (Giselle) standing room only, good view of the tops of their heads :) Also met a weird guy who whacked his head on the railing and then asked if Helen was from Manchester
- Heurige, where the lady wouldn't let Helen have "no juice" on her meat
- Sturm at the Heurige
- Seeing the Vermeer at the Kunsthistoriches Museum

Budapest:

well, we only just got here, and leaving tomorrow - not enough time!! Hope to get same kind of cheap tickets to the opera tonight. We have finally got our coats wet and Andy thinks the metro is cute.

Oh, we went to the hot baths yesterday, outdoor palatial setting with mosty local magyars taking a dip in the thermal spring water. Fab local experience.

Bye for now!
