Raindrops on Roses and Whiskers on Kittens, the Prater in Vienna and Warm Roast Pork Knuckles..

Just the three main food groups, thanks.......beer, pork cracklin' and fries
We had a couple of days in Austria (1 night) on the way to the UK for Julia’s Grandma’s funeral. The highlight was Julia’s sister Tracy, and her boyfriend, Troy, taking us to the Prater fun fair for giant roast pork knuckles followed by dodgems and roller coasters.

So over the last two weeks we have been in and out of Vienna, using their place as a base whilst visiting parts of Eastern Europe. There was time for more pork knuckles, dodgems and other games, most notable Julia and Troy taking the Sling Shot ride on our last night, hurtling out of the Prater at 160km/h whilst pulling 6 G’s. Both agreed it was not something they would rush back to but I must say it really changed them…….they have a certain air about them as they move through crowds, an apparent sense of importance that perhaps they feel puts them above, or at the very least separate, from others……

Vienna is a magical old city with great transport, great eateries and a fairly slow pace for a big European city. We were very sad to leave Troy and Tracy and the ease with which we had spent our time in Vienna. But we have a ship to catch!
