Vienna onto Venice

 Picture above is of the Spanish Riding School in Vienna. What an incredible location for a riding school!
 I'm adding these pictures in Venice where the web link is soooo slow so I'll keep the pictures to a minimum with a short narrative....

 Inside the Spanish Riding School...nothing more needs to be said! They asked that no pictures be taken during the performance (flash etc spooking the horses) I was going to do it anyway (others were of course) but Sally said no...oh well.,...

 OK so I had to have a beer afterwards....

 

Schloss Schönbrunn in Vienna....

 So it's off to Venice on the night sleeper train.....IC944 - The Don Giovanni Express.

Sally inside the sleeping compartment just before we broke open the snacks...

 Running through Italy in the early morning hours....

 Arrival in Venice....

 Everyone knows where this is......
