Butterflies in Vienna

Standard

The Butterfly house in Vienna is worth a visit.

It is situated in the Palmhouse’ Hofburg.

The flowers there are beautiful.

So are the butterflies.

They even sit on you.

This post is dedicated to my dad

who would be 100 years old today.

He loved Butterflies and all little plants 

and he saw everything beautiful even if ever so tiny.

He is so loved and missed.
Everything has beauty
but not everyone sees it.

Vienna Food

Standard

Vienna,

the city of music, dreams and really impressive buildings.

It has a colourful history and you can see statues everywhere.

This laid-back and bizarrely quiet Austrian city has so much to offer.

Austrian food is delicious and

Coffee houses are everywhere.

A reservation in Cafe Central was a must.

With beautiful piano music we enjoyed a wonderful Viennese Dinner.

Wiener Schnitzel
Kaiser Schmarrn
Cafe Melange

Vienna has a slower pace and really enjoy living.


Vienna is a handsome, 
lively city, 
and pleases me exceedingly.
