Mozart Balls and Strudel

Happy Christmas Eve.  We went to Vienna, Austria earlier this month.  We did lots of sights and museums.

Lots of Christmas Markets, I am afraid to say they werent as good as German Christmas markets that we have been to before...  Cologne is a personal favourite.  But here are some pictures for you,..

There were horses and carriages, where you could pretend you were a Princess.  It stank to high heaven there.  But to stop the po op from going on to the road they had some from of po op shoots at behind them that had a bucket at the bottom.  We didnt go in one as I am afraid of horses...

The Cathedral had a market around its base.  Arent the roof tiles amazing.  Chevrons before they became hip in America.

This building was behind the one we stayed in.

I love all of the details on the buildings.  Such grandeur that we can no longer be bothered to include in to buildings.  Money is now King and cheap buildings are flung up, where as these were more labours of love that showed the owner had cash and style, dont you think?

The buildings opposite the hotel we stayed in.  This one had a roof terrace.

This building was also opposite our hotel room and was empty.  You wouldnt see that in say Picadilly Circus.  This was central Vienna...?  Madness, how beautiful, but empty.

Another part of the Cathedral, with the bird crest.

I think this one was my favourite building all the paintings on the sides and the turret.  But as it is in the centre of Vienna, it is blotted by the McDonalds sign. 

More pictures to come later.  But if someone was to ask would be go again.  The answer would be no.  There are too many other places in the World to see.

Are you all ready for tomorrow?

P.S. {Morzart Balls} are chocolate with a soft centre.
