Ah ... Still Vienna!

Free wifi is one thing, but reliable wifi is something else. We were warned that countryside and valleys impact reception but we are sitting at the Vienna dock and last night's post has still not gone.  We'll see what happens with this.

We selected to do the tour of the summer palace of the Habsburg's: Schonbrunn. A very opulent palace which had fabulous gardens, though not as good as Versailles. This occupied our morning with a return onboard for lunch before a free afternoon. We opted to stay put, wash, watch two movies on our impressive cabin entertainment system and walk laps of the sun deck rather than go back into the city. With two weeks of full on touring, some down time was much need.

Our Croatia group booked into the small restaurant tonight which was lovely, kicking onto the lounge for nightcaps. It is about 20 minutes to midnight when we set sail for our morning arrival in Durnstein. Think I'll brave the spring night air to enjoy the  disappearing Vienna.
