Vienna and Prague - 3 pictures

Yesterday we came back to Berlin after a few days in Vienna and Prague. Both were wonderful - Vienna especially, since Naomi still knew some people there from her childhood. We'll say more later, but here are some highlights:


Hühnerschnitzel in Vienna. We had it twice - once in a Heuriger near where Naomi used to live, and once at a famous/extra-touristy restaurant in the inner city called 'Figlmüller' (this picture is from the latter). Both were good. The former was better.

We had a day of Art Nouveau, involving a lot of Klimt and Schiele. This building had a leafy dome, and a mural by Klimt inside. Really sweet.

Prague was very different - it took us a little while to understand why people get so excited about it, but we came around (a cheap, delicious meal helped). The castle/palace on the hill overlooking the town had about 5 different architectural styles. This is the cathedral that the castle surrounds. Notice the big tower, which starts gothic, but doesn't stay that way as it goes up. The mural next to it is of the dead rising from their graves to be judged.
