Of Desserts and Views
Viennese Moments


Would you rather have
dessert with whipped cream or


enjoy the view of the city
from Prince Eugene's Belvedere?

In Vienna, the living is easy:
You don't have to make hard choices,
you can have both, within the same hour, if must be

The apple cake, served at Restaurant Wetter,
was utterly delicious, and the view from the Belvedere splendid.
The cake's gone, the sphinx is still there

  1. That would have been a difficult choice Merisi, thank goodness it's not necessary :)

  3. I'm not a big fan of desserts. I'd like eggs and sausage

  5. Looks good - I have to say I wish I had had the chance to travel more in Europe before I moved to Australia. Oh well - maybe next year!
