Skippy happy in Vienna

Today was filled with much skippy happiness, hand clapping, big smiles and some excited twirls.

Not sure if my travelling companions noticed I try to be very subtle and contain this kind of emotion  inside in order to present a calm age-appropriate exterior, (I know you're know buying that btw).

Exciting things producing the above mentioned completely decorous behaviour ...

1. A visit to one of the most beautiful libraries in the world  the Austrian National Library, where I wandered, mouth agape, looking like Wendy-from-the-country, while MGM, Tony & Wendy visited the Spanish Riding School, conveniently located in the same courtyard.











 can this be my desk from now on please, or better still just let me live here.


 Tagging! I'm totally up for tagging here, no complaints I promise.


Moving the collection to make space? let me at it.

2. Not far from the library is the restaurant that is the home of Sacher Torte, cake-lunch on steroid.


 The Hotel Sacher in Vienna is posh.




 so posh it has a Klimt in the loo! 


3. the hoho bus

In any big city the hop on hop off bus is the way to get a feel for what you want to see. Vienna is a regal city and even the old town is too large to walk in a day, so here's my view from my hoho bus ride window ...












 there's lots more photos, ask me - I'll be happy to show you them all ... no? party poopers :)

4. Nordsee for dinner! oh my goodness i LOVE this restaurant



 5. Mozart concert ... in Vienna! this has been on the bucket list for sooooo long!

horrible pic - excited and photography don't mix well.


this is a day that I'll remember forever as being just so wonderful.
