Final Destination - this time last year...

Our final destination in our adventure last summer was Vienna...although I must say that Vienna lost much of its charm looked through our tired eyes, aching body and bored children. A pity, really coz Vienna is potentially beautiful in its own arty-farty way...




As with previous destinations, arrival day was spent looking for the hostel we booked (really people, get a GPS!). Its late, we're tired and hungry. Then guess what! We were told the hostel has fire alarm in each room so, we cannot cook our own dinner! How laaa...well..when there's a will (or rather no will), there's a way, of course. Abah climbed the table and wrapped tissue papers around the alarm! I covered the rice cooker with blankets whilst it was cooking..and the best part, Teeny held blankets over my head and the portable cooker while I fry some eggs!!! Picture that, if you can! Kecoh but..the result was a prefectly yummy and peaceful dinner.

OK...will not recount every minute spent in Vienna. Highlight was the visit to the famous Schonbrunn Palace and its enormous park...let these few pictures try to tell the story...





Should have gone to some musical recitals..barulah complete agaknya the visit to Vienna...next time, maybe?


After a day in Vienna (half of which spent looking for decent place to have lunch and a souvenier shop! we seemed to have walked on the wrong side of the city) we left for home and arrived in Geneva at 3 am on 16 August 2006...begitulah kisah nyer...we vowed never to repeat such a feat again...we're too old and the girls are too young!
