In Vienna we found a chain restaurant in a side street near the Opera that again wasn't interesting food - I remember a lot of kartoffelnsalat and chicken or fish - but was cheap-ish. Vienna is packed with good and cheap restaurants! Not in the Kärntnerstrasse tourist trap of course but not far away. Café Anzengruber for example, which doesn't look like much from the outside...  ... whereas inside it looks as if the décor hasn't changed in the last 150 years, it's open late and there's even a billiard table. You can imagine Beethoven sitting at the next table scowling at you and shouting at the waiters. |

We had two types of cakes yesterday evening. We had Russian style carrot cake and an apple strudel.
Also there were interesting drinks. One was Spanish vodka.
(vodka made out of olives). I don't usually drink, and I was driving. I tried a little of that vodka and it was very good.
My friends are people who know the best wines, but a specially the best vodka.
I don't know what they gave t-p, but he was talking more than usual.
I had such a good time.

The only trouble with cakes in (wannabe) high-quality places is that the forks are right-handed - the left-most prong is wider than the others to cut the cake better. How silly.

No - I was attending to the garden in between the showers. Hope the gig went well. |
