We were only in Vienna a day- so to celebrate Sarah´s
birthday we drank lots of coffee and looked at the sites...
A statue of Mozart- on every main street corner hawkers tried to sell us tickets to Mozart shows. He spent the last 10 years of his life in Vienna. 
Viennaś beautiful parliament house- I found it hard to fit it on my camera
Street artists in Vienna- plenty of those around this time of year
Sarah enjoying a birthday coffeeIn Vienna we:
- Visited 3 different coffee houses and ate a piece of worldćfamous chocolate cake from Cafe´Sacher.
- Admired the beautiful buildings, all within walking distance.
- Listened to some organ music in an old church, sounded very familiar.
- Visited a wine tavern suggested by a local and had some traditional food, yum!
Summary of Vienna:
- Again, some great architecure but hazy skies which made good photos hard to take.
- Obsessed with Mozart, as Prague was. They even have an opera toilet.
- Seems driven by tourism- plenty of street performers.
- Coffee shops are full of smoke- it seems Europeans smoke a bit more than Aussies.
- Plenty of scaffolding on the main tourist sites- as we have found everywhere in Europe.
- A great city to simply walk around in!
The scaffolding!! I know all about it. The Taj was the only famous landmark I saw that was scaffold-free. Sucks for photos!
