Vienna

We have 2 wonderful days in Vienna. Ian has succumbed to the last of the gastro bug so he spends them mainly in bed....
There's a bus and walking tour, morning tea at a coffee house (unlike Amsterdam it's ok to take your grandmother!), a mini-concert of Mozart and Strauss, exercise session at the Spanish Riding School, wander through the Christmas market and ample shopping opportunities.
The captain introduces all the staff, the manager explains just how much extra work they all put in trying to stop the gastro, then we all troop downstairs for a magnificent farewell dinner. The wine is flowing, the company is good, dessert is a spectacular and delicious Bombe Alaska and singing and dancing around the piano continues till late.
