Anna get's superhappy to make her coffee! ;-)

The view from the balcony, which lies right by the canal.

In the evening we went out for dinner by the canal and was also joined by Anna's supernice friend Martina. We then walked through the city and ended up in an Australian bar, which I of course loved! ;-) And the best thing about Austrian nightlife if that "the place to party" is the Swedensquare! :-)

The 3 blondes at the restaurant by the canal eating Austrian food.

Then we shared some great choclatecake for dessert! :-)

The blondes and Martina at the Australian bar with Peachwine (which you don't wanna pronounce in German...)

Today we started the day with having a really big breakfast in a supergreat place called Einstein, close to the city hall! You could eat as much as you wanted and as you'll see in the pictures under they had really everything! So good, and hard to beat!

All of us with the great breakfast! :-)

Me with my big breakfast!

After the big breakfast we went for some sightseeing with our great guide Anna! We were also lucky with the weather that just got better over the day!

Anna and Zsofi in front of the parliament

The Hapsburger Castle, where the royals lived within the city.

A beautiful church

The spanish riding school in Vienna

As a break in all the sightseeing we went to the apparently famous Café Central where they had great bakery and where you apparently can spot politicians and celebritys sometimes...

The café

Me and Zsofi with the great Austrian cakes Sachertorte and Strudel with berries, really good! And I also got my tea in a teapot - so cute! :-)

After all the sightseeing we went to a supermarket to buy breakfast and then we went back to the apartment a little to relax and get changed. The next thing we were to see was the former royal familys summer residence Schönbrunn a little way away with the metro. But it was well worth a stop and we sat on a hill having a little picnic looking out over the castle and the city - so lovely! <3

The castle with the city and the mountains behind - really beautiful and the view from our little picnic!

Me in front of a small part of the really beautiful garden...

We then started the evening with wienerschnizel (of course!) and the Austrian beer-mix Radler in the same place as we went to in the morning - liked it so much! :-) We were joined by sweet Martina yesterday too and then also by three other nice friends of Anna... After dinner we ordered two typically austrian desserts to split on four, but they were sooo big so it'd probably have been enough with one. I also taught them to sing "Helan går" after I discovered that it's only us Swedes that like to sing when we drink (or at least not Austrians and Hungarians)! :-) After spending some hours in this place we continued to a square in the museum area where people just hang out and drink (drinking outside is apparently legal in Austria) - it reminded me a lot of the bottellions on the squares in Cadiz a few years ago...

Me and Martina and my really big wienerschnitzel!

Together with one of the two desserts (you see how big it is!?)

The square we finished the evening in...

Today we'll pack up our stuff, have a good breakfast in the apartment, see the market and then depart again... Anna to Linz (where she lives) to work and me and Zsofi to Budapest to meet up with Misi! Both exciting and sad at the same time! There is so many good things and so many great people in my life now - I'm very grateful and happy! :-)
