Hop on bus to the Stadtpark

We caught the hop on hop off bus for a bit of sight seeing around Vienna. We got off part way through to explore Stadtpark. It is a lovely park in the middle of the city with a stream running through it. The girls had some more energy to burn off so it was perfect.

Church park

In the morning we had a relax start before we headed out. We stopped in at a park outside one of Vienna's cathedrals while we waited for our bus. The bus came too quickly so we let it go and waited for the next one so we could play a bit more. The church provided a great back drop to the playground.

Bit more from Vienna

We tried to go see some Klimt painting, but alas no luck. We tried peeking inside with little luck. We decided to have some ice cream instead and a park after. It was a great way to wrap up the day before we went back for the night.

First day exploring Vienna

We explored Vienna most of the day, walking through the city centre and the nearby park. KT acted as tour guide although SV didn't seem terribly impressed, although in reality she was but found one fact unappealing. MV was excited to be exploring, especially when she found a scooter. She really wanted to ride it badly. EV just enjoyed walking and we found her a giant square within which to container her. The park was a welcome green space once we got there, and all of the flowers were looking lovely.

Vienna arrival

We arrived into Vienna and had to spend some time before dropping our bags off at the accommodation. We went to the park and had a bit of morning tea before playing. The girls really enjoyed running around after being in an airplane for so long. Eventually we dropped the bags off and caught the tram into the city centre. We were quite hungry and stopped for a curry wurst lunch.

 

On to Vienna

We flew through security and immigration because of our VIP status afforded us by travelling with a baby. Consequently we had plenty of time to choose one of the 14 lounges at our disposal to relax and have a snack. It again made for a very relaxing experience before we got on our second flight, only 10.5 hours this time.

Swim up bar and more

The pool was fantastic, it had something for all of us. We enjoyed the swim up bar, while the kids liked the water features and wadding pools. We had a bit of a snack at the bar too just to keep up our energy. Eventually it was time to go back and have a bath so that we had some time for a nap before getting on to the next flight.
