Vienna is one of the easiest, most relaxed places I've ever travelled. It's springtime and there's a lot of tourists rushing around (including me!); yet it inexplicably retains the feel of an overly large and urban tropical outpost. No one walks particularly fast or talks particularly loud, traffic is orderly and unobtrusive, absolutely everyone can speak English, and sights are well signposted. People are relaxed, friendly, urbane, and gorgeous. Every park is positively exploding with roses and the beer is always cold. I don't say this about many places; but yes, perhaps I could live here whiling away hours in outdoor cafes under the shade of leafy green canopies, people watching, writing, taking photos, and generally just existing. It makes me suspicious how artless and effortless this city is. It makes me think this might be something akin to the Land of the Lotus Eaters - I have been marvelling at how the tap water tastes so good.
♥ Next Stop: Prague, Czech Republic ♥

For some reason I didn't expect any posts while you were away, so I was so very pleasantly surprised to see you pop up in my reader! This photos are simply beautiful, you seem to have captured the place perfectly. A little bit jealous of the summer weather and being able to wear a simple dress! xxx

Pretty pretty pretty!! Looks beautiful so far. You're going to love Prague, one of my fave cities, it's beautiful in the old town. Enjoy your holiday you lucky girl xx
ReplyDeleteGlad you liked my hometown so much. I also very much enjoy living here. And yeah, it's not quite as hectic as anywhere else - we call it "Gemuetlichkeit". But it IS loud... Anyway yes, the tab water is fantastic. I'm so not used to buy water in bottles abroad because I never have to do that here! ^_^
ReplyDeleteOh, it´s so beautiful! Looks like a very romantic place too and the English- speaking part is a major plus.
ReplyDeleteHope to see more pics of yoy, Ana!
PS: That´s a cute red Longchamp bag you´re holding. ;)
