Today was a beautiful day! We started our day at the Schonbrunn Palace and Gardens, the former summer home of the Hapsburgs, the royal family of Austria. We toured the palace and gardens, climbed up to the Gloriette to take in the wonderful views of Vienna, and then I decided to tackle the maze in the Inngarten. It was a challenge, but I was up for it. I am pleased to report I conquered the maze and found my way to the observation tower!
After a beautiful afternoon in the gardens, we went to the Hundertwasser house and the KunstHausWien museum. Awesome modern art with an environmentalist bent! The exteriors and windows so vibrant and colorful. It was way cool! After a traditional Austrian dinner at a lovely cafe, I purchased some Austrian bio and free trade chocolate bars. I look forward to trying the exotic flavors :)
Off to Budapest tomorrow...
