Vienna

Tuesday 25th

Yesterday long drive to get to Vienna.

.

Lots of country like this

And this

Picturesque ruin

 This morning trained into central Vienna, destination Belvedere Museum, known for Gustav Klimt paintings...  remember Helen Mirren film Woman in Gold.... well you won't find that one here, as Austrian Gov forced to return it (& others) to rightful owners and it now resides in NY. Nevertheless Klimt still well represented in the gallery and obviously the drawcard for the museum

Upper Belvedere Museum Vienna

Parterre garden Belvedere

Klimt painting - all looked like same model to me, altho apparently not!

Klimt landscape

The Kiss  -  Klimt

Another Klimt portrait, looks the same woman huh?

What everyone comes to see

Vienna street scene

After walking feet off in museum repaired to Sacher Hotel for sacher torte, ok I guess, remember it as richer and denser last time. Still coffee v nice and red velvet obviously underrated as a furnishing fabric, ha ha

I look fatter, right?

Funny thing, when we were walking back to the Vienna HBF, Frank point out a Toyota LandCruiser, 78 series, (needed help with that)  RIGHT hand drive.  REGO VIC.!..   that's right, missed that turnoff for Geelong, no doubt!
