2009.04.27 - Day 4 at Vienna with Judith & Hessel

A shame, our last day in Vienna. We decided to take the last city tour to Schonbrunn Palace, very nice palace with a fantastic garden. We also visit the State Opera. I had seen the Opera in Milan, but this one is much larger and fantastic what a building. In the afternoon we went shopping, Nicole saw a bracelet, but the price was between 500 en 2500 euro's so a litle bit expensive. Of course Hessel and I had to have a Wiener snitzel, so we had ours at the airport.
We left Vienna at 18:25h with a stop at Frankfurt and landed at Schiphol airport at 22.15h.
FANTASTIC city!!!! we had a great time with Hessel and Judith. Up to our next holiday.
Pcitures will be posted asap, I took around 500 pictures so enjoy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2009.04.26 - Day 3 at Vienna with Judith & Hessel

Our third day in Vienna. Just getting to know the metro lines and loving the city. They are a lot of exclusive shops in Vienna and what a cars, see my car post earlier. We also visit the Riesenrad in the Wiener Prater and took a boat on the Donau. Later that evening we decided to close this fantastic holiday with a nice diner at an Italian restaurant. Lovely food and of course a lot of Prosecco and Prosecco Orange. Check of the diner....... see picture.

2009.04.25 - Day 2 at Vienna with Judith & Hessel

After a very very veryy good night sleep we had breakfast at the hotel, this was great, lovely breakfast. The rooms are also very large. We had 2 rooms next to each other on the fourth floor. Pictures... of course :)
The next days we decided to take the city tour in Vienna. There are 3 tours, red, yellow and blue. We saw the old city center of Vienna and the Donau. Pictures of this day are also posted.

2009.04.24 - Day 1 at Vienna with Judith & Hessel

Friday 24th of April 2009, Nicole and I and our friends Judith & Hessel went to Vienna. Our flight details were as follow:
07:10 - 08:35 Amsterdam to Munchen;
09:25 -10:30 Munchen to Vienna.
So Judith and Hessel picked us up at 04:00h and we arrived at Schiphol Airport at 05:00h.
Just dropping the luggage because we already checkin on the internet. So far so good, BUT.......
Our plane was delayed for almost an hour so we were about to take off around 08:00h.
Note: Geert Wilders was arriving at the airport with heavy armed cars and just got in the plane next to us. Pictures of this will be posted.
Due to our delay we came to the check in at Munchen at 09:30 and they just closed the gate GRRR!!!!! so hoping that there was another flight available. It must be our lucky day because they booked us to Vienna at 11:00h. I must say that there were a lot of people at the check in desk due to a delayed flight so Lufthansa must be doing something wrong.......
The planes of Lufthansa were very nice to fly with so no comment on this. Because we had to wait for an hour we had a look at the airport of Munchen: VERY VERY VERY nice, pictures will be posted also.
Around 12:00h we arived finally in Vienna :)
Now we had to go to the hotel. We stayed at Hotel Allegro Wien, 5 minutes with the metro from the center of Vienna. After going with the airport bus, searching for the right metro/train we finally arrived at the hotel around 15:00 - 16:00h. Just taking a quick shower and off t0 the center. Of course we took the wrong direction of the metro, so we could not find the center immediately, but at the beginning of the evening the found it!!!!
So just walking to the shopping street and I must say, dammm what an exclusive cars and shops, but a very lovely city center. That evening we had dinner at an restaurant underground: Spare Ribs and a lot of ribs and they tasted great. After dinner back to the hotel and off to bed. Breakfast the second day at 07:30h!
