Hello Vienna (part 3)

this one will be a little bit shorter
but absolute worth every  step we took 

so after 2 days of wanderlust around vienna 
i decided (yes me, the boys had nothing to say about our tour to go)
we hit schönbrunn palace, gardens and zoo 
so just around 6h of walking again with a stop to eat lunch 

so off we are 
schönbrunn palace 

it is so full of baroque glory this old hunting chalet 
we just spend the day in the freezone such as the park and formal gardens 
surrounding Schönbrunn 
and what can i say
i love gardens and those are typical French Baroque gardens on the ground,
getting more natural English style in the elevated, more distant parts 

the "Neptunbrunnen" marks the center of the garden
and is aligned with the "Gloriette Palace" on a hill overlooking Schönbrunn

after wandering down again we started to get hungry 
so we had lunch @brandauers 
typical food such as spareribs , schnitzel and cordon bleu
OR apfelstrudel 

afterwards we went to Schönbrunn Zoo 
it is super nice when having kids and grandparents who are bored 
but also for tourists like us
it is not the biggest but it is nice to look at because of its baroque cages 

after spending the whole day outside 
we were glad for staying home 
we had a little "Brettljause" for dinner (a typical cold dish with sausage, cheese and bred) 
and went straight to bed 
-no yoga no sport today- 

before we said goodbye he got a special dish for lunch 
"Kaiserschmarrn & Erdbeerknödl" 

goodbye dear best friend from germany! 
thx for having you here and for such a great vacation feeling

Hello Vienna (part 2)

2nd day
so much walking

so we started after a little breakfast
just ordinary joghurt with fruits and for Flo just apricot cake (i baked 2 days before)

after we headed for the first district
our city center or as we say "inner city" 
it is framed by the Ringstraße (which we did on our first day) 
i love this area
it is full of beautiful medieval buildings and it also concentrates the vast majority
of all see-worthy attractions 

so we started with the Stephansdom cathedral 
further we took our tour along the "rotenturm"Street 
to "Graben" and "Kohlmarkt" up to "Hoher Markt"
there we enjoyed the "Anker Uhr" (a Jugendstil clock)
  our most luxury shopping areas (looking was good enough)  
around the corner is "Am Hof" Square with beautiful churches (such as Kirche am Hof)
after we walked to the "Judenplatz" Square, with it´s Jewish Museum
nearby the oldest church in Vienna "Ruprechtskirche" 

all that walking made us very hungry so we met MrM for lunch @Figlmüller 
home of our famous "Wiener Schnitzel" + the perfect potato salad
very best Schnitzel in town

so back on track 
we headed back along the "Kärnter Street" (another shopping street) 
to our beautiful opera which is next to the "Albertina" (museum)
further we went to "Naschmarkt" the biggest farmers market 
with lot of restaurants and bars

off to yoga!

we met all in the evening for dinner @vapiano
(i know, it has nothing to do with vienna, but the food...) 

day two accomplished

Hello Vienna (part 1)

today i´m talking about our tour through the beautiful vienna
vienna is a wonderful city with so much to see and so many beautiful areas full of
small perfect restaurants, coffee shops (the best EVER), boutiques and of course great architecture

i love vienna and it´s little districts
a great place to walk around or just sit down and have a coffee or some sweets

 my best friend from germany (Flo) visited us for 3 whole days (+2half)
it is quite a task to see vienna in only 3 days! i can tell
so a lot of planing especially planing what food to start with
we actually have a lot to eat.. 

so we started with our beautiful "mariahilfer"street - a big shopping street
all day long from "Museumsquatier" to parliament and our townhall
till we ended up right before the "Votiv"-chruch
all in all something about 4h of walking
in the afternoon we were eager to do some exercise 
me bikram yoga and the boys headed to the fitness center

after, we met for dinner @ Burger de Ville
best burger in town (i can tell, i´m THE bruger girl) 
burger and super yummy fries 
and after so much good food 
we actually had the best ice cream in town 
**better picture will come as soon as a get there the next time

super perfect tasty yummy delicious ice cream 
day one accomplished
