This morning we had a coach tour of Vienna. We had great views on top of the double decker bus. We went to Schonbrunn Palace and had a tour of the State Rooms and private apartments of the Posted by mikey-mich in Mikey & Mich's Scenic Adventure | Oct 15, 2009
- Opera in Vienna
We went to the opera tonight! In Vienna! Austria! We got really cheap, standing room only tickets. And while our feet may have been sore, our souls were uplifted. The name of the opera is Nabucco. Check it out:

We were told not to go to Siofok, that it is one of the more boring towns on Lake Balaton, central Europeś largest body of fresh water. Clearly these people were unaware of the Annual Tojas Festival, because the place Posted by meganselby in We Are Not Teachers Anymore | Oct 13, 2009
- 线路初定~
由于买了flexible的Wien-Zurich往返票,再加之决定翘掉一节运作管理后,我的行程里就多了“hallstatt和Liechtenstein”两个地方了。现在,我下决心要在1小时内作出详细的计划!
10.30中午12:30下课后 至 11.5下午4:00上课前,算上半天的话头尾就有5晚6天(好开心啊!我要畅游!)

- 出发前的形形色色
中欧,在我的眼里,代表着最为醇正和美好的“欧洲田园式风格”:小镇、古堡、森林、隐约可见的湖泊和流水声、连成一片的绿地、山林中稀疏的小房子,还有那代表现代化生活水平的发达的火车系统。哪怕老式火车轰鸣的声音,伴着被惊起的鸟声,都是一种置身世外的享受。
瑞士与奥地利的阿尔卑斯山下的小镇,我已经想念很久很久了。
第一次是在初中时候的看到的“风景名胜”上关于瑞士的专题,那一幅满山红叶中泛出橙色灯光的小镇图景至今在脑海中无法忘记。这就是我想寻找的“世外桃源”么?我好想搬过去住,但是现实毕竟是现实,哪怕不能 Posted by Kisu in Salzburg-Innsbruck-Zurich | Oct 11, 2009
- Salzburg - Beatiful city to the Sound of Music
Salzburg is a lovely city - lots of parks, old buildings, and statues. We spent a few hours there on the way to Munich.

- 维也纳 (Vienna)
富丽堂皇的皇宫,华丽的音乐厅,井井有序的街道,古老庄重的建筑- 维也纳的一切似乎是一个皇族贵妇的写照。
她身份高贵,却因为其教养而彬彬有礼;
她摩登,但她的明眸中却透着大家闺秀的古典端庄;
她不拘泥于繁缛礼节,却大方得体。
维也纳用它的气质镇住了我。以至于我们两人都不约而同地说:“如果我们说德语的话,我们肯定会移民奥地利”。我们并没有迷失在众多的博物馆和古建筑中,而是把大多数的时间留给了维也纳的大街小巷。美,就留在那一片树叶和一盏路灯之间。
