Vienna - first leg of travels

First stop, Vienna Austria. Departed Australia in the summer to land the other side of the world in winter. This very beautiful city welcomed us with dustings of snow and christmas lights. We had one night in this city so did a very quick lap. Wonderful little coffee shops where you smoke inside (!) and delightful christmas markets to invoke the festive spirit. One night is not enough for this visit, but we had to fly next day to Athens, Greece. Weary from the long-haul international flights, we collapsed in the hotel bed to start our adventures the next day.
