VIENNA

Hello!

I'm on school holiday at the moment (and have been for three weeks) and because my family can't go on a big holiday together like we usually do my mum and I have been on two short trips with my grandparents, first on my mum's side last week to Vienna, then with my father's mother this week to Hamburg. I'll do posts on both trips but the Hamburg pictures aren't on the computer yet so that'll have to wait a bit...

In short: Vienna is a beautiful city. We stayed in a very small hotel downtown so we could reach basically everything by foot, which was kind of nice. Even the main shopping street with all the more or less expensive boutiques and tourist shops is beautiful because all the houses have matching, historic facades. The guide in the synagogue we visited actually told us that all new-built houses had to be made to match the rest of the city!

Anyway, picture time!



The ferris wheel in the Prater. This thing is about a hundred years old and it still works!
One of the famous, beautiful Lippizzaner horses!







This is the Holocaust memorial. It depicts a library, each book symbolising the life of one of the Austrian victims.



See you soon!

Love, Jojo
