  Best part of Vienna, by far - the canal walk. The "graffiti" along the canal walls is just amazing. Beautiful views of the city and cathedral off in the distance. Seriously talented artists here!

  Different way to do a kid trailer on a bike - on the front! Huge ferris wheel aka Riesenrad in Prater Park.

  "I love my work" :-) Keith spins the world Prater Park is very touristy, but still worth a visit. Cute little roller coasters.

  Gift shop, of course. Airline sized bottles in violin shapes for the composers Mozart, Beethoven, Strauss etc who composed here.

  Me and Bob's lunch - a rare vegetarian option that is actually a ton of veggies under the egg. Veggies are rare here. Vegetarion items on the menu are usually cheese. Cool toys at a camera store along with vintage items. Cathedral spire On our single day off from 10 days of biking, time for major laundry. Hand wash in sink then put the wet items between two towels and step on to force the water out before hanging to dry.

  Multiple canals joining here. River itself is a ways outside the city of Vienna to avoid the annual floods. Artists working Tons of cafe's along the canal. Some have real sand to be a "beach" with bars. The amount of people watching soccer here on a Friday night was amazing. Fiaker (two-horse hackney carriage) are common around the cathedral. St Stephen's cathedral in Vienna.

  Hackney's line up. Inside St Stephen's cathdral, not enough light for good photos. Rear of the cathedral. Yet another huge pipe organ.

 
  IM001578 IM001579 IM001580 IM001581 IM001582  
 
  Modern buildings among the beautiful old buildings around the cathdral square. Yet another beautiful vintage building. St Stephen's cathedral in Vienna. Walking signboard for HTC / blackberry. There is an Apple store there too.

  Ya can't swing a cat... Statue on top of the building is pretty neat. St Michael's Plaza Ruins in front of the plaza being excavated and preserved.
