VIENNA, AUSTRIA

Map and flag of Austria

As I already mentioned on the main page, Lisa and I have already visited Austria.  This is our second time.  Luckily Austria is a very interesting country and we found many new things to check out.

Brad & Lisa posing

Here are Brad and Lisa posing in front of the Schoenbrunn Palace


Brad at lunch time

This place is real old and somewhat famous (so they say).  We had lunch in this room.  Check out all the signatures on the ceiling.  The signatures make the place a historical landmark.  The place is The Greek Inn, although the food was Austrian.  We had weinerschitzel for lunch.  The restaurant is in the formerly Greek part of town.


Famous signatures

If these signatures are legit, it's a pretty impressive collection.  I found two in this photo -- Mark Twain and Johnny Cash.  There were several other famous ones, but I don't remember the others.


Brad on a narrow street in Austria

Here we are in a small town about to take a cruise down the Danube River.  This cool little town is Durnstein.


Good fart sign

Lisa was quite amused by this sign for some reason??? :-)



Our cruise boat

This is our cruise ship as it approaches to pick us up for our cruise up the river.  It was a two hour cruise up the river to Melk.


Having a beer in the sun

Ah, isn't that lovely!


Prison castle ruins

These are the ruins of the castle where Richard the Lionhearted was kept imprisoned in 1192.


Castle way up on the hill

Check out that place way up on the hill.  I bet they have/had a great view!
