Day 17 - Vienna (graves, castles and bad jokes)

Had a very long sleep in this morning (much to my surprise) and ended up leaving at about 9. Got on our trusty U3 and took it to a bloody ginormous grave yard which had some famous composers in it. We were expecting to have to trudge all over the grave yard in the deadly silence to find these composers but luckily for us they were all in one spot quite close to the entry gate. We saw the graves of: Mozart, Beethoven, lots of Strauss's, Brahms, Schubert. But unfortunately for us Haydn was Hiddin' and we didn't even find him after playing hide an' seek. Anyway after this we went back to the grave info.... mation desk and accidentally turned the light off for some poor lady when she was on the toilet and then we legged it away as fast as we could with much hilarity. 

So yeah.... We took an above ground tram back to the city centre where we went looking for a cafe that daddy had found out was supposedly the best cafe in town. Here we had a piece of lemon meringue pie, a piece of sacher torte (an Austrian traditional cake) and a fruit covered vanilla slice. Also to drink mum and dad had a coffee while I had a hot chocolate all of this was up to a good standard. After this we went and had a stroll through the Austrian royal palace which was nice for the first 20 minutes and then became boring. 

Next mummy went on a tour of the Spanish horses while dad and I relaxed peacefully in the park reading and researching. When mummy had finished we headed home past many mineral stores that we "had" to have a look though!!! So yeah "fun" stuff. When we finally got home we rested for a couple of hours and then went and got dinner from the same place as last night (food festival a block away). I had buttered chicken again, daddy has all the curry together and mummy had a vegi curry. 

After again taking a scenic route home After dinner (shorter this time) we collapsed on our beds and are now wasting time reading, researching, blogging, emailing and writing postcards.

Big day tomorrow with a 40 room palace..   "yay"

Catch ya later mate
