We are in Vienna!

[Betsy]

After a long day yesterday, we made it to Vienna last night. @Merab, Mr Merab, @Viennese Furbabies, me and the OH have been visiting the Christmas Markets today. Here are Viennese Furbabies, Merab and me at the Christmas Market at the Schonbrunn Palace this afternoon.


As you can see we have done a bit of spending getting in a few treats for ourselves and a few Christmas presents. Here are some more piccies from the various markets we visited today.

The Potato restaurant was wonderful. Great food and we’re all stuffed now.
Imagine @Betsy &OH plus @Viennese Furbabies all tucking into Sachertorte

Tomorrow @Viennese Furbabies is taking us out for a walk in the morning then later back to her flat for some piggynapping.

That all sounds wonderful I’m sure @Viennese Furbabies has some sort of alarm installed and a ban on long coats with big pockets

It was a very lovely day today. Thank you so much for organising it.

You're very welcome

I would send my old boy jimin on the case of any pignapping talk but he says he's old and he'd rather just bite correx to beg for food instead.

 

[Merab]

Another lovely day today.
The weather was glorious and @Viennese Furbabies took us on a walk in a beautiful park at Laxenburg.







The restaurant was a flying theme - interesting



This theme was continued in the toilets!
The inside of every toilet door had a different picture

A little disconcerting

 

[Merab]

After lunch we went back to @Viennese Furbabies for piggy cuddles and attempted pignapping





@Viennese Furbabies didn’t notice that Kylie had been exchanged for a capybara

A perfect day ended at a Chinese restaurant to share a delicious meal



Tomorrow we go home. It’s been a lovely weekend with forum friends

 

[Betsy]

We did have a lovely time today here are some of my pictures from today.

Walk around the park at Laxenburg.





Attempted piggynapping at @Viennese Furbabies place.





We've all had a lovely time and really don't want to go home tomorrow.

It all looks wonderful

I'm sure the Vienna Christmas Market is far more genuine than the Birmingham so-called German Christmas Market. I went there a few times, but they only had one stall selling the German Christmas biscuits etc and the person there didn't speak English (or German), I'm sure most of the gifty stuff on sale was mass produced in China and I'm not into bratwurst and beer, so I haven't been back. Maybe it's time for a winter trip to central Europe for the real thing!

 

[Viennese Furbabies]

It was lovely that you came to visit Vienna @Merab and @Betsy!
I'm glad you enjoyed your weekend. Looking forward to seeing you again.
And thanks again for all your lovely presents.

 

[Viennese Furbabies]

And no, I didn't take Cinnamon, the capybara with an attitude for Kylie, the guinea pig with an attitude.
I'm very happy that all my piggies are still safe at home.
I started to worry a bit when Mr. @Merab and Mr @Betsy started to talk abour pignapping too. But luckily I trained my piggies well. They didn't fall for any kind of persuasion.

 

[Roselina]

They’ll be back next year @Viennese Furbabies to have another try
They seem very persistent
Still another year to do SAS style training …… I could see Kylie excelling

 

[YvonneBlue]

Fabulous photos, looks like you all had a wonderful time.xx

 

[Betsy]

Both @Merab and I are back home safely now. A good time was had by all and I'm looking forward to the next Vienna adventure and piggynapping attempt!

 

[Julie M]

Wow looks like a great time had by all.

We all had a wonderful time. @Viennese Furbabies made us feel very welcome (even though we didn't get away with a piggynapping event!)

 

[Merab]

It was a wonderful weekend.
Lots of laughter and fun.
The lovely thing about being with @Viennese Furbabies is that she took us to the markets at the right time to avoid the worst crowds and also a trip off the beaten tourist track.
Looking forward to the next visit.
