Vienna

In the morning the whole group went by bus to Schonbrunn Palace. This is the summer palace or hunting lodge of the Hapsburgs . It was very interesting as the tour we did was through the rooms where the imperial family especially Franz Joseph lived. This was followed by a visit the Zentralfriedhof - cemetery to see memorials/graves of various musicians; including Beethoven, Strauss, and Shubert. We then went into an area called the Naschmarkt - where we farewelled our Czech bus. The Naschmarkt has numerous stalls and cafes. After lunch we divided into groups based on the two places that students wanted to see. This included the House of Music, the Fine Art Museum, the Hofburg Palace as well as shopping and visit other activities. This worked really well as everyone was able to visit things that interested them. Everyone made it back safely to the hotal and the evening meal.

Now it is time to pack for London.
