Ah Vienna!

A little sleep-in was appreciated after lots of days with school wake up time. Straight to the sun deck after breakfast to for 5000 steps worth of laps watching the Danube swiftly pass. A first lock experience was before lunch. We pass more than sixty locks over the two weeks. Very interesting but having watched one won't need to do all sixty something! 
We pulled into Vienna as we lunched and then headed off on coach then walking city tour. Was here twenty years ago for a day, but very little was familiar. So many tourists enjoying prefect spring weather, diligently following their guide holding a variety of 'follow me' symbols aloft.   It certainly is a very beautiful city. 

Return to ship for change and afternoon tea before heading off into town again for an 'exclusive private concert' at the City Palais Liechtenstein. Extremely grand atmosphere for a very pleasant hour of Strauss and Mozart with 13 piece orchestra and soloists. Delightful. 
We are still dockside for another taste of Vienna tomorrow. Bring on the palace!
