11.5.24

Friday, September 13

 Arrived London Heathrow quite pooped, having dozed a bit on the flight. Dinner was lamb, and I pouted so much they brought me beef from business class!We navigated from Terminal 4 to Terminal 1 with no problem, though there were line-ups for shuttle busses and security. It's easy to see why they allow lots of time between flights. We both slept most of the way to Vienna. On arrival we bought our 3-day Vienna Cards (WeinCarte), but still took a hotel shuttle to avoid navigation hassles.
 


Pension Arian is very nice,

 Lots of space, newly furnished, very comfortable. After sleeping for about 3 hours we set out on foot. The ring is several blocks from the hotel, so we walked there and along a few blocks through the Museum Quartier, near the Hofburg. We wandered into a small restaurant and had a lovely meal -- weiner schnitzel, swein something with noodle/dumplings finishing with apfelstrudel. Wonderful. On the way back to the hotel we joined briefly into a celebration of the re-opening of part of the museum -- food, drink, singing.


up a lift that was built in the 19th century, I'm sure, from a narrow passage between old buildings.
