Day in Vienna
We took the Underground train early into the centre of Vienna - only a 15 minute journey from our camp. We wandered around the quiet Sunday morning centre and had breakdfast in a street café before picking up our tickets for the Spanish Riding School's famous Lippizaner horse show.

Unfortunately no horses in the photos - it upsets them apparently! Having seen them as black foals 10 years ago in Piber it was great to see them as full grown white stallions seemingly "dancing" and showing off their skilled jumps.

OK not my photos - but this is how they would have looked if I could have taken them!! :-)

Its very hot here, at least 36 today... so girls cooled off in the pool in MQ (the Museum Quarter)
where we were joined for lunch and some boating fun by Carola, Dan, Sophie and Anthony.
We all took a tram to the banks of the Donnau or Danube River where we spent many hours well into the evening catching up while the children played around us in the sand. Ellie and Sophie are firm friends once again!! Thank you Moons - can't wait to see you again soon.
Finally a kebab from the street kiosk and a train ride back on the Underground. Fantastic evening!!
