Including Marie Teresa, buried with her husband - That’s them on top...
And Sisi - buried next to her husband Franz Josef.
It was very much raining when we woke up this morning and still WINDY- I saw a poor tiny dog getting blown down the street - his little feet barely staying on the ground!
We decided to do indoor things.
Since this city seems to love the Habsburgs we thought we’d check out some of their stuff.
We first visited the Treasury and saw crowns, jewels, (Crown Jewels) and fancy outfits...
Next we visited the former home of Marie Teresa’s favorite daughter, Marie Christina, who was married to an art collector. Their palace is now an art museum with some great exhibits. Here’s a Chagall I liked...
We had lunch in a traditional Viennese cafe.
And ate a traditional lunch of frankfurters! Don’t call them wieners in Wien!
Since it was still raining and it was our last couple of hours in Vienna we decided to splurge on dessert and ordered the Milchramstrudel (strudel with cream). This photo doesn’t make it look very appealing but it was yum!
Now we’re on the train for Prague. Mike is thinking about which city he’d revisit first - Budapest or Vienna?
