Posts From Austria

Today we planned to simply drive as far as we could in the hope of clearing the alps during a window of relatively good weather - you see we don't have snow chains for our trucks and hence we did not want to be in the alps during a storm. So we headed out towards Verona along the A4 and then north along the A22 towards the Brenna Pass and Austria.

Today was a long day on the train travelling from Budapest to Vienna. The high point of the day however was that we ended up in Vienna a city we have not visited before.

Today was all about Schönbrunn Palace, a tour of this famous building and its grounds was included as part of the trip so first thing this morning we were all on the metro heading to the palace which is south west of the city center. The day was wet, the crowd was large and hence the tour was crowded. But still it was interesting to see how the wealthy of a bygone era lived.
