June 29 – The Good, The Bad, The Ugly, The Some “Not Worth Repeating”
Today Niki took off from work so we could all go back into Vienna to spend time together. We were supposed to stop (I thought) before reaching Vienna for some breakfast. I have an issue with low blood sugar, so by the time it hit 11:00am, we were pulling into the parking garage in Vienna …

Today Peter (Niki’s dad) nicely picked us up and dropped us at Castle Schonbrunn, so we would not have to take the bus. It is humongous and spectacular. I will let the pics do the talking.
