More Vienna

I actually penned a full page to you today on the Coach but it clearly failed to publish and or save so I have no idea what I originally intended to tell you.  I am currently in Salzburg and some of the letters on the Keyboard are in different places so it is making typing very slow going.  Anyway, last night was disappointing. The meal may have been described in the brochure as fine dining but I didn't think much of it.  Supposedly the 4 courses were based on the Hapsburg Royal Family menus.  I am not descended from them as the Food was very boring and needed tomato sauce at least on the main meal! The concert hall was very sterile and as I was expecting an actual theatre, to go into a large hall that had similar seats that we'd used in the Dining room was not real Flash.  The Music was good and the musicians okay but nothing to write home about.  However having said that, it was still okay, just not worth the 99 Euro that I paid.
Back to the room and then bed.Thankfully in the morning I was first out the room door.  The previous morning Marianne had mangaed to lock us in as she had used the key chain and then couldn't get the damn Thing to open.  I had visions of us being trapped in the room together and was already planning on whether to throw a chair or her out through the window!!!  Once I managed to get her to get out of the way I pushed back the Little black plastic keeper and voila, the key chain slid open.  Thank the Lord for small mercies. I have decided that the quality of one's roomies can vary from one extreme to the other - consider Jo, grandma and Princess Shiny Bright!!! Clearly lack of sleep is impacting on my mental health as I am almost looking forward to sharing a room with Princess SB.Make sure you read this last sentence twice, though as I have stated that I am ALMOST looking forward to my next roomie, that isn't set in concrete!!!
Anyway...So to an overcast morning we bid farewell to Vienna.  I would certainly come again.  The City centre is very Tourist friendly. We are hopeful that the rain will hold off but it is dark and Grey.
More to follow once I've worked out how to use my own Little Frizz Computer so that I don't have to Keep fighting with this local Keyboard.
