Morning in Vienna - May 11





Got up early again and headed our for a walk. Another pleasant morning, cool with a bit of sun.

I think I mentioned that our hotel is kitty-corner to the Hofburg palace. We walked through the gardens on our last visit here. Lovely palace and gardens, not! Actually we walked through their BACK yard. Here's a photo of the back and front. You can see the Hofburg's put a bit more money into the front of the house. Good curb appeal!

We walked by a monument dedicated to communist Russia when they occupied Austria. Accordng to our tour guide yesterday (we did learn a few things), President Putin was recently here and laid a wreath. If you look carefully you can see a ton of flowers at the base.

The last shot is that of another museum across the street from the Hofburg Palace and down a few doors from our hotel.
