Good Wine in Wein


Seth and I really enjoyed Vienna. The highlights included;
  • Yummy potatoes at the restaurant above. We also had a lovely Austrian Reisling and a fantastic dessert wine that was made by the father in law of the waiter.
  • The strangest and politest political protest I have ever seen. About 10 people were standing in a small cluster on one side of the street yelling and blowing whistles while 8 or so bored looking police officers stood on the other side of the street watching them, chatting to each other and smoking cigarettes.
  • A very expensive but fun tour of town in a horse drawn carriage. Our driver was quite funny and took us for a glass of wine afterwards.
  • An insane taxi driver who made many attempts to kill us by running red lights and weaving between lanes. Luckily he did not succeed.
  • Speaking German. Well, I guess pointing at two danishes and saying 'Zwei bitte' does not really qualify as speaking German but we all have our delusions, right?
