Well we had our first espresso at mq daily - we had it at the bar for 1 euro each - terrible reminds me of the rubbish coffee at work

we have a nice day in Vienna today - about 18c

There is amazing buildings everywhere - have taken a few photos - can't post any until we get a real Internet connection.

we are just sitting outside the Kunsthistorisches Museum giving my feet a rest.

There is a lot of tour buses around but the pace of life here is very relaxed.

I am hanging out for a coffee as I have not had one since leaving home. From what we have seen it is super expensive with an espresso costing 2.10 to 3.50 euro.

We caught the underground to the big saturday market in vienna.

it is a large market with lots of fresh vegetables and cheese and antipasti and flowers.

we stopped at a small restruant called Wurstwaren and had a Bratwurst and kasekreiner - very nice.

we bought too much cheese, some fruit and some radishes.

we are about to go back through the market now as Pam wants some pastry products.

like a lot of places you have to pay for the ointernet. I wrote a small blackberry application to allow me to update my travel blog while on the road,

i only got the correct code signing keys from blackberry while travelling.

Looks to be working by the looks of things.

Well we arrived in one piece in Vienna.

Quite a trip to get here

Christchurch - Sydney (2:40)
Wait (2:00)
Sydney - Bangkok (9:30)
Wait (1:00)
Bangkok - Dubai (6:00)
Wait (3:30)
Dubai - Vienna (5:50)

We then caught a bus from the airport to an underground station at Stephenplatz to the nearest station to our hotel.

We got in here about 2:45pm local time.

A quick shower and we went out and found a super market to buy some water and cheese. Cheese is cheap here.

We dropped off our drinks and went for a walk back to St Sehhenplatz.

It was getting quite cold here about 5-6 degrees by about 6pm a bit cooler than the 37 in Dubai.

We were going to go out for a meal but I had a bit of a headache and went back to the room to get some pills - that was te end of that.

Piran is an ancient coastal town on the most western headland of Slovenian Istria. Its first inhabitants settled here in the middle of the 5th century and in the 13th century it was taken over by Venetians. It was then that this small old town started to develop and prosper.

In spite of a turbulent past Piran has retained its distinctive charm. Written records mentioning the town of Piran go back to pre-Roman times. Over the centuries the townspeople have made their living by fishing, handicrafts and trade in goods such as salt, wine, oil and fish.
