In front of Karlskirche 1

The day that Ruby and Taran arrived in Vienna (4 SEP 2001) was gloriously sunny. We spent the day seeing various sites in Vienna.

In front of Karlskirche 2

Rubes can never remember/pronounce the name of this cathedral, so she refers to it as the Taj Mahal in Vienna. Easy to pronounce: Karlz - Kir - ke.

Dinner in the backyard garden 3

That's me, still trying to open up the wine. My landlord, Herr Werner, opened it up for me a few minutes later.

That's me with Marta's and Agata's tour group at the Australian pub. Not all of them were Aussies - the girls were from England and New Zealand.
