Our first stop was at Nuremburg. A city famous for its World War II connections, but a now restored beautiful medieval city and well worth visiting. We followed this with a visit to Regensburg. I had never heard of this town but wow, visit if you can. Its walls are still complete and much of the architecture has an Italianate feel, truly beautiful.
We went on to Passau and then to a very wet and cold Vienna.
The weather is Vienna was awful and we didn't see the city at its best as we dashed from cover to cover. However as we sheltered we were lucky enough to see some of the Lipizzaner horses coming out for a training session.
We certainly plan to return here for a longer stay and to explore further.
I can only post a few photos on here to give you a glimpse of these wonderful places, If you scroll down my facebook page you'll be able to see a few more. https://www.facebook.com/carol.warham. Of course, if you visit my home be prepared to sit through hundreds of photos!
Sounds fantastic, apart from the weather in Vienna. We're going to Vienna soon, and the weather forecast is not wonderful.
ReplyDeleteIt is an amazing city. There are so many museums and cafes there you should have no trouble staying out of the rain and cold. If you can you should make the time to go to the Schonbrun also. We got the underground, it was very easy.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos. I loved Budapest too, and always said I would go back there for a longer stay. Not managed it yet though!
ReplyDeleteIt took our breath away. I had heard it was lovely but its beauty was unexpected. Some of our party stayed on for an extra couple of days and I was quite envious.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a fabulous trip Carol; so glad the weather improved as you went along. Budapest looks beautiful and your photos give us a good flavour of the city. What a lovely break from the routine!
ReplyDeleteThanks Trish. It was a fabulous trip
DeleteRegensburg? I've never heard of it either. It looks a bit like Old Town Dubrovnik to me, and I loved that. What a fab trip! Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteOne of those places you could easily miss but worth visiting. It was beautiful. Thanks for coming by.

DeleteHi Carol. Love your photos. Very Inspirational. Although, I imagine, with all that scenery you won't have got much writing done!
ReplyDeleteEr no, not a lot of writing! But, hundreds of photos taken. I wish I could share them all.

DeleteWonderful photos, Carol. Wish I'd been there to see the Lipizzaners! It is one of my dreams to visit the Spanish Riding School in Vienna, although I have been lucky enough to witness a performance at the stud in Lipica.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by Heather. We didn't plan on seeing the horses and were just in the right place at the right time! Even seeing them in such awful rain was still amazing.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a fabulous trip.
ReplyDeleteIt was Patsy. I'd do it all again tomorrow
