And On to Vienna

After our lovely last morning in Salzburg we headed off on the train to Vienna. Since this was a shorter trip, we had economy tickets. Sticking by the 'when in Rome' travel adage, we noticed immediately that two young local girls were settled in opposite each other across the table in the window seats of a group of four. So that's what we did. In all fairness it was a very empty train but we had plenty of room to be comfortable.

By the time we got settled in our latest airbnb apartment it was already after 4P. But we headed out anyway. Past St. Stephans (in all fairness only about two city blocks from our apartment) and over to the Stadtpark and around again. The day was too beautiful and the sky too blue to pass up any opportunity to get out and about (especially since we had to sit on the train missing out on over 2-1/2 hours of clear skies).

So here is the church:
 
And here is the steeple (just shy of 137 meters):
and up above the doors see all the....nope not the people...the array of animal gargoyles:
