The Night Tour After Mozart

After the concert, we were lucky enough to have been taken on a walking tour around the old streets of Vienna. Our tour guide was one of the leading scientists and lumber specialists in Europe.

He went to university in Vienna and was happy to show us his old stomping ground. The old cobblestoned medieval streets were narrow and full of charm. We saw the university, the pubs and even Mozart's house, the one he stayed at while he was in Vienna. He explained to us that Vienna was the centre of Europe and very important, thus the buildings reflected this.
The next day, we were off to see the Danube.
After maneuvering the underground, we found the canal, a tributary of the river. That part of town was not too nice.Lots of graffiti hung on the walls beneath the bridges but some of it was very good art. So we then took another underground train and went to see the river. No, it wasn't blue!
It was a murky greeny-brown but flowed very fast.
It was about 1/4 kl. wide. Well, we saw it!
By now it had started to rain so we back into town to find a wine garden. Many we're closed because of the rain but we did find a covered one. Beer, wine, goulash and strudel was the order of the day and we really enjoyed it.
Back to the hotel and a short walk to the restaurant for tonight's supper!
Tomorrow, it's Rome! It will be so nice to hear the language. In Austria, you spit the words out but Italian, multi bella, it rolls off

the tongue and comes out like a song!

After a very nice trip to Rome, we were picked up by our hotel and driven there.
The weather was warm. It actually felt like Hawaii.
The hotel is beautiful! There are lots of tropical plants, palm trees and vines that add to the ambience of this Olive Garden type place. We had Happy Hour in the bar patio. It was just beautiful, 

full of greenery, color and charm. We really are in Italy at last!
