A Summer Stroll in Austria

My university friends and I spent our junior summer vacation travelling among a few European countries. Surely we took numerous photos and I kept on buying postcards all the way.(grin) For privacy's sake, photo-displaying is absolutely not in my consideration. But since my postcard collections are not small, it would be a good idea to put some on the blog-- they are just too lovely to hide away. Well, the notes along with the postcards are more like silly soliloquies. :Q

Schloss Belvedere

Schönbrunn (This is Belvedere, actually. But my memory stays in Schönbrunn :p )

Our first stop was Wien, Österreich. (Vienna, Austria.) The most famous palace in Austria is Scholoss Schöbrunn, which means the palace of beautiful fountains. On the morning that we headed to this palace, we met some very sweet old gentle at Schöbrunn station who offered their help on seeing us reading the map. I remember there was a fresh breeze of coffee scent on the platform when trian passed by. This is the aroma reminding me of Wien. \(^ ﹏ ^)/  Well, but this postcards is Schloss Belvedere.... Can someone lend me a scanner so I can show the correct picture to you?


Prater

Prater

The Prater is a famous landmark in Vienna. We went there on a sunny afternoon. At first we had a good time there and met a scandinavian couple on the Prater; then on the way back to the station, a goddamned guy pinched me on the behind! Got totally shocked! >__< I phoned my (ex-)boyfriend as soon as we found a phone booth, but he laughed out loud on hearing this. No wonder we broke up finally. =____=


Salzburg

Salzburg

Salzburg was our second stop. (Everyone knows about Salzburg from the Sound of Music, right?) Of course we visted the Mozart house and bough Mozart chocolate. Also, we went to a salt mine near Salzburg named Hallein. Although the guide was a cute young man with a bored look, speaking in a bored tone, the mine exploratory tour was way cool. The underground salt lake, the tunnels... gee, thrilling enough! \(^__ ^ \) Wanna know what the tour is like? I found a site via google search. Go check it.
