Today we are in Vienna, the capital city of Austria. There are many Museums, palaces and it is known as one of the greatest centers for art, music and architecture.

We started with a bus tour that ended downtown, then a walking tour that we left when we reached the Spanish Horse Riding Academy where we purchased tickets to enter and watch the famous Lipizzaner Stallions perform their daily exercise routine. We learned here that these stallions are born black but by the time they reach 10-12 years of age they have mostly turned white.

After watching the horses we walked back to the pedestrian shopping area for a while then found a local restaurant for a lunch of Goulash and Strudel. After lunch and a bit more shopping we found our way to the subway that took us back near the area where the ship was docked.
