Vienna 2008

Very twee; though in terms of arriving in style - it certainly beats a black cab.
Russell & Eleanor in front of one of the entrances into the sprawling Imperial Palace.
It is an enormous place housing the famous Riding School and various other establishments.
Ian, me, Russell, Karen & Eleanor.
A 17th century Plague monument in the main Graben Street, shopping area.
On the site of the oldest church in Vienna, this is a Baroque masterpiece, just off Graben Street.
In the centre of Vienna is the landmark St Stephen's Cathedral. It is free to enter, wander round and take photos - unlike Westminster Abbey or St Paul's back in London!
There are some extra photos of St Stephen's Cathedral here
The central Europeans do Xmas markets so much better than us. This one was the largest I've seen and was good fun to explore.
Me needing to warm up. That's where the Gluwein comes in handy.
What an unfortunate name for the Town Hall.
The child looks a bit dubious on this ride. Checking the expression on Santa’s face - so were we.
Ann, Russell & co., watching a curling event in the museum area. Well you have to do something while drinking the Gluwein.
