The Naschmarkt, Vienna

Have you missed me? We've been away for an absolutely wonderful short break in Vienna. The weather was glorious - sunny and warm, but not too hot for sightseeing, and armed with our Vienna cards, which give you 72 hours unlimited use of public transport, we saw lots, did lots and ate lots.
