Lots of walking, lots of art, lots of boogying, lots of beer, lots of food, lots of great people, lots of sunshine - all in all, lots of great wedding!X & S got married in Vienna on Saturday in a fabulously over the top Palais, complete with gold baroque twiddly bits and I'm sure I remember cherub statues!
So, tenuous links to exercise:
- Oodles of walking - about 2 hours each day. This included initial exploring with Husband on Friday, a drunk wander through the old town on Saturday back to our hotel, lone hangover beating stomp on Sunday morning when I got to see the incredibly tasteless Johann Strauss memorial, meandering from cathedral on Monday....
- Boogying on Saturday night - even Husband was dancing! Kitty & Goldfish outdid us, keeping going til the party ended.
- Good intentions: I did try to rent a bike, but the City Bike scheme didn't like my credit card! I also briefly considered joining the virtuous Kitty in the gym on Friday but decided to go wandering with Husband instead.
I've discovered that I'm not a big Klimt fan - ditto Schiele. Liked a Julian Opie exhibition I went to with Kitty at MAK, loved the laid back Museums Quartier, enjoyed art from Faroe Islands that was in the basement of the Leopold Museum, loved the hotel (Das Triest - stylish, comfy, powerful showers, quiet rooms, good looking receptionist), liked beer from a microbrewery and cocktails at film festival, flatpack hat from M&S was successful, enjoyed a v.civilised slice of sachertorte with Kitty in a beautiful palm house.... even Husband who hates city breaks enjoyed the weekend.
Quote for weekend came from Kitty "why have they messed up our hotel booking, moved us to a great, stylish hotel with minimal hassle, fed us for free - why us??!!"
