Still here in Vienna for another day but thought I would get started on my trip report. This is our second trip to Vienna so we obviously like it here very much.
1. Flight - We always fly Lufthansa to central/eastern Europe. Never even a minor problem and the service is great !!!
2. Hotel - Staying at Pension Pertschy as we did on our first trip here. When booking, I mentioned that we stayed there before and really liked our room. That was all it took.....the woman at the front desk handed me the keys to the same great room. This place is a great value and the location is less than a block from the Graben. Very helpful staff, a real gem !!!
3. Weather - Not so great but what can you do ? Maybe take a side trip someplace warm ??
4. Side trip to Baden bei Wien. - Based on Fritz`s suggestion, we took the localbahn (small train/streetcar) for a 1 hour ride to the Römertherme spa. What a great experience. Warm springs, indoor and outdoor warm pools and 3 different types of Sauna%26#39;s and Steambaths. Disclosure - If you have an issue with nudity, be advised that the saunas and steambaths are basically used in the nude. The area is seperate from the main pools which are family friendly and everyone wears bathingsuits. Bring %26quot;flipflops%26quot;.
overall a great experience. Perfect for bad weather.
Will post much more as time allows.
One last item. This is my second trip to Austria and I still haven%26#39; t seen a Kangaroo. Looked hard in the Volksgarten and Stadpark.

I hope you are kidding about the kangaroos in Austria...lol
|||
Of course he%26#39;s kidding. The last kangaroos were eaten by the dingos years ago! Now all that%26#39;s left are the duck-billed platypuses in the Danube!

Hi Patrobert,
If you do a day trip to Ayers Rock you may see a wallaby..
Regards David

Kangaroos...not here mmmm. No one has called me mate either.
To continue%26quot;
Restaurants - Hopferl, Naglergasse. Great little spot. Good food and drink. Friendly bar maid. Good prices.
Goulash Museum- All kinds of Goulash. Great Food. try the dark draft beer.
Wien Stadt Museum - Very good and free on Sunday.
72 hour transportation pass - Very good deal. We used it alot in the bad weather.
|||
the weather in vienna is bad in november it probably will be worse in december which is when i am going - well just have to bundle up.
|||
So whats the weather like late February?
|||
The daylight-times are already longer again in February of course, which is nice, but for the rest, it can be the same again, any kind of weather from sunshine to long hours of rain, to snow, you never know in the middle of the continent.
Just to give you an impression: Austria suffered of one of the warmest winters of the last few decades last year, a disaster for the skiing-resorts, this year mayn resorts brought their openeing back to this weekeknd, and many already opened last weekend because of the masses of snow we already have now ... is it still gonaa be there in February, nobody can tell !
Greets, Fritz

Special thanks to our 2 local friends who spent time with us and gave us valuable insight about Vienna and things to do while we are here. Enjoyed your company and hope to see you again.
Thw eather was basically the same at our next stop in Prague. 8 days and no sun. Otherwise a great trip to two beautiful cities.
