25 Dec 08 ~ Vienna, Austria

From the UniWorld site:  Renowned for its art and architecture, its classical music, its decadent pastries, and its lengthy list of famous former residents, the refined city of Vienna is a cultural treasure trove.

 Sore throat much worse, so I skipped the morning tour so I could take the optional afternoon excursion to Schönbrunn Palace.

The palace was stunning.  So much gold leaf and gold everywhere!  And the gardens amazing!

I did not go to the church concert tonight.  Bundled into bed early with a very sore throat.
