Vienna.... Take Two

The past three days I have wandered around by myself. On Monday I went to the 'Belvedere', a very rich persons house which is now a museum that exhibits some of Gustav Klimt's work. I really loved seeing his work and then wandering through the rest of the gallery - I haven't been to a museum in over a week!!!! How outrageous!  :)
I also went in to a church which had an elevator that took you up to a platform where you could have a really close look at the painting on the roof. I then walked outside and there was a man in a funny costume selling tickets to a Mozart concert so I bought myself one! It was sooo great! It was just amazing and I was very lucky because all the theaters are closed over the summer. But this performance was on. It was selected pieces of his work well most of the famous stuff so it was brilliant. The conductor got the audience to clap along to one of the tunes but we were so helpless (when I say "WE" I mean everyone else of course) that he pretended to be upset.... it was really funny. All the musicians were dressed in the clothes of Mozart's time and the concert hall itself was amazing. So lavishly decorated!
Tuesday:
I went to the Imperial Palace and wandered around then went to Empress Sisi's museum which was fantastic!!! She was such an interesting person. (I'll have to type quickly as I have only two minutes left!) 

Last night I toddled off to an old theater and saw "The Third Man" (that's right Jim.... you've got to love that good old zither). It was fantastic! I have never seen it before but I really enjoyed it. So today I just had to go to Prater Park and have a ride on the big ferris wheel it was great!

I spent the rest of my day in the Schonbrunn Palace and then at the zoo there in the grounds (I had forgotten how much I hate zoos.... the poor animals !) I also got to eat some chocolate cake (yes Dad the famous Viennese chocolate cake called Sachertorte).
I also spent some time drawing - it is really funny because when I draw all these people come up to have a 'look-see" at what I'm doing. They are all looking and going... "Oh, yes I see how she's capturing that light there"... as if I'm actually any good.  Now believe me most of my sketches are not that brilliant...... it's really truly funny.

Must go.....

Love to all, Acushla Van Gogh.
