To make sure Leilani knew that there was culture outside of Paris we went to Vienna. In the morning we visited the Spanish Riding School<\/a>, the “Spanische Hofreitschule” with the very famous Lipizaner-horses.<\/p>\n

It is housed in a beautiful building. (Weather courtesy of Photoshop)
\n\"\"
\nNo Oma, that way…
\n\"\"
\nMy mom asked him if we could take his photo with Leilani. He answered that it was the thousandth photo today and he was very bored. In the meantime, Leilani sneaked up…
\n\"\"
\nWell, I have photoshopped a lot more than 1000 photos, and I am bored too. It would take an hour to do that one right… it was forbidden to photograph in the Spanische Hofreitschule, so I took very few photos in bad light, none of them worth posting by itself.
\n\"\"
\nAfterwards we started walking towards the Stefansdom<\/a> the St. Stephen’s Cathedral… at least in the general direction. We found many beautiful buildings along the way, but I don’t really remember what most of them are.
\n\"\"
\nZoom… zoom… here the sky looks almost real?
\n\"\"
\nSame roof. Leilani commented on the statue on the left (after Andy pointed it out): Oops. Ouweee, crash, boom, bang, Ouweee…
\n\"\"
\nNotice how these ladies are so much better dressed than their sisters in the Louvre<\/a>
\n\"\"
\nWe had a really good lunch and (at least I) ate too much.
\n\"\"
\nIt was cold and grey and the photos did not turn out great. Yes I know the ones with the photoshopped sky don’t look that much better.
\n\"\"
\nWe walked towards the opera house
\n\"\"
\nAnd photographed it from every angle. At least Sonja did…
\n\"\"
\n\"\"
\n\"\"
\nThis is the Karlskirche
\n\"\"
\nWe got lost for a while, but then asked for directions and got to the K\u00e4rntner Stra\u00dfe and Leilani got to blow big bubbles
\n\"\"
\nThe former Hotel Meissl & Schadn<\/a>, with a mosaic made by Eduard Veith<\/a>
\n\"\"
\nMore pretty houses
\n\"\"
\nThe Pestsaeule<\/a> (plague column) is located on Graben.
\n\"\"
\n\"\"
\nWe found and visited the Stefansdom. I took so many photos that I decided to make it it’s own post. After the Stefansdom it was late already, and Leilani was tired. We took turns schlepping her.
\n\"\"
\n\"\"
\nFreyung
\n\"\"
\n\"\"
\n\"\"
\n\"\"
\nWe drove all the way to Sch\u00f6nbrunn Palace<\/a> and visited the Wagenburg, a museum of carriages and vehicles.
\n\"\"
\n\"\"
\nProof that I was along… (actually, there are more Vienna photos of me coming in another post, as Leilani got a hold of my camera…)
