City of Music

Vienna is known as the 'city of music'. I would call it the city of cafes. There would be no hassle trying to find a nice little place for a coffee. They are everywhere. But tonight for us it was the city of music as we went to a 'Sound of Vienna' concert at the Kursalon Wein. It was an orchestra playing music form Mozart and Strauss, both who are Austrian. There was some opera and ballet thrown in. It was a lovely evening under a full moon. Others are having some local soup for supper but it is not my cup of tea, so I am having coffee instead with Adrian sitting beside me.
Soon we set sail at 11pm for our first of 2 stops tomorrow. The second is Melk. The first I forget but it was where Richard the Lionheart was imprisoned a long time ago.
