busy busy VIENNA!!

Soo these last few days I have been away from the kids and St Kollmanns. From sunday to wednesday I was in Vienna on my own staying with the mum's brother's family. Her brother and girlfriend were really nice and they helped me a lot with my travel plans!
On sunday I arrived in vienna around 1pm and went to schonbrunn palace which was really near to her brother's flat. The palace was gorgeous and I did an audio guide tour and saw 40 rooms in the palace which was spectacular. I walked around the grounds and the plants and views were soo beautiful! 
On monday I went and walked all around district 1 and saw most of the palaces and monuments. It was sooo tiring! I then saw harry potter haha (it started to rain!) bit disappointed with the film, and then later I watched Carmen the opera on the big screen outside the Rathouse.
On tuesday it was raining soo heavily that I decided to do museums! well first in the morning i went to the stadtpark and then later I went to Kunsthistorisches museum.. took me a long time.. and the highlight had to be the Rafael paintings. I managed to get into a viennese coffee shop which was very cutesy. Later at night I went to see the opera the Vogelhandler at the schonnbrunn theater.. apart from that it was all in german and that I struggled with the humours etc I felt I got the idea of the opera. 
But yeah all in all Vienna was a great break from the kids and I felt I was back traveling again.. however it made me missed daz and zoe. 
I will put up the photos later!
Another great news my HOLGA 135 camera has arrived!! and it is beautiful.. its a toy camera what do you expect! im soo excited to start taking film now! enough of this digital crap..

Oh and I am going to Tyrol tomorrow! its near the Alps and we get to drive up some greta mountains! im excited! will be back on monday..
