Off we go to the city center to resume our Hop On Hop Off Tour.  We have decided to go to the Hapsburg Museum.

There are sooo many large beautiful buildings we have trouble finding the correct one.  After a couple of tries we are in the right place.

We view the china section first.  WOW!!  We are not china aficionados or even really interested in it.  The displays are unbelievable!  The ultimate in Opulence!

The beginnings of towel art.  These are napkins that are a meter square and folded very intricately.  Can you imagine doing this for an intimate dinner party of 150!??!

 

We take a break for a bite to eat then continue to the Hapsburg Apartments in the palace.  There is a lot of information about Empress Elizabeth and Emperor Franz Joseph.   They live a life much different from all of us 🙂

We wander about Vienna’s “Old Town”.  Beautiful statues everywhere and nothing that we can read about them.  The maps we have don’t mention most of them.  Inconsequential  I guess  🙂

 

 

We are moving hotels tomorrow to one located closer to the city center.  Less time walking to and fro.
