Postcards from the road: Vienna
Took a short stopover in Vienna a few weeks back. Something I’d been meaning to do for many years, particularly at Christmas time. Some cafe life. Christmas Markets were plentiful, and good food and drink was flowing. Street Corner. Inside looking out. A ...
Indeed we did.
Far too much cake was consumed in general. We even brought some home. ...
