It is raining on and off and definitely getting colder. We are very appreciative of the central heating in our flat. We visited Schonbrunn palace. Just the gardens, we needed a rest from lavish interiors. Yours truly suggested we return by bus to cut down on walking, not such a good idea when I had no idea where the bus was going. It appeared to be going the wrong way after a while so took another bus and tram and ended up a bit further away from when we started but at least on a Ubahn line. All was well and it wouldn’t have been so bad if it wasn’t wet and cold.
We took a tour of the opera house (Staatoper), - the stage was huge. They proudly explained it was the world’s largest.
Visited the Naschmarkt with AMB in pm to buy food whilst J&L went shopping, this involved a bus ride from near our flat and a 1km walk by a little river. The Naschmarkt is quite an interesting place with a string of market stalls selling all sorts of fresh food. We cooked dinner that night but kept the menu simple as our lack of German restricted our understanding of what to buy. We washed down dinner with a very good Argentinean red.
