Although I don´t have much time,

I couldn´t resist posting other clips from the great opening ceremony (Wiener Festwochen)-
I had to do it and I know, some of you love music as I do- so here the most famous church song of Austria ( and other German speaking countries)- Schubert´s Heilig (holy)
sang from many choirs in the Abbey Church at the Stift Melk in Lower Austria--Cultural World Heritage
the beauty of the architecture is worth watching the clip as well;)

 Have a great week;)

Vienna in spring!

Again a great spring day in Vienna! Perfect light and temperature! And people everywhere- even in the

gras in the park! ( In these parks -Stadtpark e.g.-it´s forbidden to go on the lawn) It´s great to see people there- so the scenery is so full of life! Reminded me a bit of Central Park;) although I don´t know whether it´s forbidden to be on the lawn or not)

This time I was happy about the trip to a doctor ;)))))- so I could take many great pictures and enjoy the sun there. Next posts will include  flowers, flowers and other spring impressions again.

Springtime in Vienna is simply perfect!

Enjoy the sun (hopefully) and your day!

Skating

 Again some photos from Vienna- the town hall behind a big skating area. I added a plan that you can imagine the place there.










No real writing and reading at the moment. What´s "real" writing? Or reading? Blogging is writing and it really happens--so? Ok, I´m writing mails and posts (not revisions,...), I read travel guides and this one is really cool- great infos and many pics, maps and photos, I love to see what I read about.

 So, I enjoy my weekend and have fun with friends;) Enjoy your day as well!! In one day, and soon I´ll start with my "real" reading and writing again;)))

Great time in Styria!

How relaxing short holidays can be:) Spent the last days in Styria-Austria on a little fruit farm.

View from my room- vineyard and apple trees opposite.

One day I visited a thermal bath- built by Hundertwasser, an Austrian Artist. It ´s an interesting style- comparable to Gaudi´s work in Spain, influenced by the Viennese Jugenstil, too. I really love his work.

After this relaxing day where I had time to read as well, I visited a "Buschenschank"- in Vienna the little bistro would be called "Heurigen". If you think, you know the German language, visit Styria. I had great difficulties in understanding this dialect. It´s a different culture as well sometimes;-)

In a Buschenschank you can eat cold meals there and drink excellent wines, fruit juices (apricot!!), too. I think I gained weight there:) It´s all sooooooo delicious!!!! You really have to try it one time!

To get a taste- here a 2 person meal- not just mine! Yummy!!!

I took so many pictures during these nearly 3 days- here are just some impressions from Styria. I´ll post many of them on my photo-corner.

Found the labyrinth today and walked it:)- in the SUN!!!! First sunny day since weeks!!!!!!
