Aboard the 1115 Müller boat for a lake trip! Capuchinos, and eiscafe for Trude. I disembark at Dolomiten Blick, the fair ladies at Kleine Steinwand, all walking to Ronackerfels. I carry on via a higher path to Techendorf where we…
Early morning struggle to get to Spital and a meeting with the Öffentliche Notar, Herr Magister Dr Josef Trampitsch. He duly certifies for my Irish passport application. We then wander around the town, stopping in a couple of shops before…
We walk round the lake to this simple gasthaus, only open when the weather is good.
Walking, whilst Mungo and Trude go in different direction. Towards Weissen Wand, then down to Tschabi and back by lower route. Kompass app works very well. See at the bottom for video of Trude’s Timbuktu joke!
I walk round west Weißensee, Trude and Mungo go to Ronackerfels for fish soup. Then Zimmerman where Trude kindly invites.
Up the mountain cable car, short walk for capuchinos, then long walk back down. All with good dry weather.
Walk to Techendorf and Spar, back by bus. Pre-birthday celebration at lunch for Trude with Mungsie’s smoked salmon cake. Late afternoon walk to Camping Müller. Grey and drizzly weather the whole day.
Whole afternoon spent going east on Öbb. To Weißensee see! Mungo sleeping all the way of course, when not nibbling. Finally arriving via shuttle at Weißensee, Trude’s hideout. She is in good form, the lamb is just incredible, and the…
Starting the day badly with a PCR, then continuous shopping for Swatch spare strap, Nespresso, stinkers, glorious wrapping paper for presents, new large hockey bag (¡!¡), and finishing with Billa und laks. Actually the day actually began with a walk…
Reach Stephansdom in a shower in time for 1015am mass. Mozart mass too (sparrows??). Then walk to Schwartzenberg Cafe, remarkably empty as the rest of the city in these covid times. After a cheeky bite at the best würstelstand in…
Breakfast at midday in Kutschkermarkt, then shopping before going back to Weimarer Str and starting to clean the place after last night’s misbehaviour. Then to Grinzing, ending at Winzer.
Late start to see Xenia Hausner exhibition in Albertiner. Then Larry’s pre-party, with Ebie, Flo, Emily, Ray.
Shopping for hiking bootz in Maria Hilferstrasse was exhausting, especially as this was after checking out new glasses at Hartlauer. A coffee break in a small courtyard was needed to reboot. And finally – incredible ice creams in Gelateria La…
Larry shows his interview skills for Schwartzman Scholars. After breakfast at Kutschger Markt, apfel gespritz at Diglis, and getting lost on trams. Testing Azeri cognac was the final straw…..
