Vienna to Kalksburg

Hi Blog Fans, we're back on the road after a lovely week in Vienna. Sorry for the blackout but we were having far too good a time to blog. Spent a whirlwind week with Callie's Mum & David and also Oma (that's granny in German) and cousin Rose. Visited all the places that Oma (a genuine Vienese) used to frequent, and met some relatives aswell. Highlights included the luxury hotel, a michelin star restaurant, prancing horses at the Spanish riding school and more art, churches and palaces than you could shake a stick at. Also enjoyed spending time in Vienese coffee houses drinking icecream coffees and eating cake. The food was also a hit with dumplings sweet and savoury featuring heavily, and aslo sitting heavily in our stomachs. After an extra night and one last visit to the café that Callie's great Grandma used to meet her friends in every day, we tore ourselves away and set off on rusty legs. Decided to take it easy and just made it out of the city limits, which was a hard enough task with all the navigating through the suburbs.
