Oh Vienna!

Horses outside the Hofburg Palace, but not the dancing kind.

It's not possible to say the name of the city of Vienna, it has to be sung. Famed for music, and I mean of the Mozart variety rather than Ultravox, Vienna had long been on my list of places to visit.

Unfortunately, 32℃ is not conducive to wandering around great buildings with small kids.

We saw the Hofburg Palace, where they have the Viennese dancing horses (which we saw only saw a video of, as the season had not yet begun).

We also visited the zoo, where the sea lions provided much amusement playing hide and surprise jumping out on the kids.  

Outside of the zoo, Vienna

Other than that, the best of Vienna for us was the Ferris Wheel and rides at the Prater Amusement Park followed by a beautiful bike ride back via the island in the middle of the Danube (yes it was very blue).

Perhaps, I'll return in the winter one day, when sightseeing may be more bearable..
