Heading off on a damp Munich morning, we went in search of the castle that inspired Walt Disney… I wasn’t up to the trek to the top, so Donna went up, and I explored the museum and lake… A parade of Japanese umbrellas… I like Donna’s memento of the …
We decided to find a traditional German restaurant – and were delighted to discover “Pil’s Corner”… …and back to the hotel, when I first noticed this delightful notation on the reverse of my room card: ~ Bella
Deciding to rent a car, we headed across the road to the car rental place within the main Munich train station… …and then headed to find the palace… I always figure it’s a good idea to take a photo of the rental car, including license plate, as when one rents a lot of them, one …
Welcome to Hallstatt… We didn’t end up wandering through the town, and instead headed off again – since we were bound for Munich and still had many hours to go… Welcome to Salzburg… …and despite having a list of places we did want to go, our driver was quite insistent on dropping us off to …

I knew the day would come… Farewell to my beautiful Vienna… Although I do not want to live there, I would love to visit a couple of times every year – perhaps have a home in Scotland and one in Vienna… Hmmmmm, that’s a lovely idea! 🙂 Our driver picked us up from our respective …
For dinner, we went to das Loft with the most extraordinary views over Vienna… not to mention the delicious food! I think Donna was wishing the waiter was on the menu… 🙂 Then home to my beautiful Hotel Bristol for a nightcap… …and the tail end of the opera… A perfectly lovely evening! ~ Bella
Another of the items on my bucket list, was to have a Sacher Torte at the world-famous Sacher Hotel… …so, on the way home, that’s exactly what we did! As we walked home past the Opera House, the people were already getting settled for the free public viewing that evening… ~ Bella
On my bucket list, you will note that one of the entries is owning a landau (convertible carriage) and horse, with a driver on hand. I would SOOO love to have that, and would use it as my main source of travel for most things locally. …and as no trip to Vienna is complete without …
Donna and I went in search of one historic location, and ended up finding another… This is the Schmetterlinghaus – Butterfly House! Just lovely! ~ Bella
