Since Poland...







... We've come down through Slovakia to Hungary; Budapest to be sure, where we went on a lovely river cruise along the Danube with dinner. I recommend the Svent Istvan cathedral asa place to see.

Then to Austria where we poked through the Schonbrun palace. We had an afternoon activity booked but dropped out to do our own things (an art galley and a museum) before going out for dinner in a little town in the Vienna Woods where we ate schnitzel until we groaned, fought back the fruit flies who were after our wine and sand the theme to Skippy the Bush Kangaroo to a piano accordion backing track.

Austria has a severe obsession with the Empress Elizabeth - or "Sisi". She seems to have been the Princess Di of the 1890s!

We're in Prague tonight and will put some photos up just as soon as blogspot get their fingers out and correct their technical issues!

Ack! Don't tell me that you've gone over to the "Dark side" (GW). I see a "wolf rider" . . . *grin*
