Went on the wrong bus to-day & ended up over the Danube again, which was good as my batteries were flat the day before. I got some really good shots from the bus.
Took another wrong bus, but wanted to go to the State Opera Theatre anyways, so I got that one out of the way!
Pretty awesome heritage, the Austrians have here!
Vienna has 1.6 million people, is 414 sq kms big & is 180 mtrs above sea level... Correction to a previous post...Bus tour figures from yesterday!
