Prague:
 |
| Charles Bridge |
 |
| The view from the bridge. Distant castle... |
Vienna:
 |
| St. Stephens Cathedral. Check out that roof! Phwoar! |
 |
| A famous coffee house. Apparently it was designed as a bank but deemed inadequate. It seems a very sensible alternative to turn it into a coffee house. I'm told this one is well stocked in the newspaper/magazine side of things too... |
 |
| Those Austrian's know how to advertise. 'Mmmhh Snack' indeed. |
 |
| This one's for the nerds (Melissa...) For some reason there was Star Trek stuff everywhere in the hostel. Spock is everywhere in my new hostel too... |
 |
| The ceiling in the Opera house foyer. |
 |
| Gorgeous seating. Worth the entry fee just to get a look. I forgot to mention that the posh Austrian opera crowd manage to be exactly the same as the posh opera crowd in Australia. Magic! The glass of champagne I got was more than the ticket too!!! |
 |
| Dramatic scribble curtain!! |
 |
| Look out Joseph! Your wife's a lesbian and she's going to cheat on you!!! |
 |
| A balcony at Hofburg Palace infamous for being where Hitler gave a persuasive speech to the Austrian people. |
 |
| I'm sure there's a reason why I didn't notice this picture was so rubbish... Anyway. This is one of only a few horse statues in the world that stands on it's hind hooves without anything else balancing it. Impressive. Less impressive is the guy it's of... Archduke Karl. I'm pretty sure he only ever won one battle. Whilst building it the sculptor went a little loco from the stress, but the people who comissioned it liked it so much they asked he make another of Eugene of Savoy who was actually a hero of sorts. |
 |
| No matter what he did, he couldn't get Eugene's horse to stand up by itself though. It has chains and the like in it's tail to keep it balanced. Eventually he got so stressed out he committed suicide. |
 |
| Baby torte!! Isn't he just the cutest?! (and tasty) |
 |
| Schöbrunn Palace (or at least some of it...) |
 |
| Little Red!! He has an acorn in his bitty squirrel mouth!!! |
 |
| Palace gardens |
 |
| Roman ruins |
