Viena Austria

Viena has been a great place to visit. I was able to visit several of the sights around town including the home where Mozart lived. We also went to see the Wiener Residenzorchester (Vienna Residence Orchestra) perform music by Mozart and Johann Strauss. There was some opera singing and some balet dancers. It was at the Palais Auersperg which is a really beautiful palace.
I also went on a biking tour through the Wachau valley visiting places like Dinstle gut luiben, Durnstein (where Richard the Lionheart was imprisoned), Joching, and Durnstein. We also took a break from the biking to swim in the Danube River. In Durnstein we climbed to the top of a mountain to see some old ruins and great views of the village.
Finally, we went to a local film festival in the park where we ate some good food before heading in cuz of an early train in the morning.
