Today's excursion was to the Schönbrunn Palace, the summer residence of the imperial family back in the day of Franz Joseph. Today, the grounds are a magnificent public park and the whole estate is a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage site. We got to tour the beautifully preserved imperial apartments, and stroll the gardens up to the Glorietta. There's a labyrinth that we were excited to see, but is unfortunately closed in the winter. To fill out our day, we cruised the trendy shopping mile of the Mariahilfer Strasse and hit up the Bermuda Triangle district of bars and clubs after dinner.

Such a lovely place!
What a nice surprise!
Sometimes, a couple of large wet towels on those royal palace heaters can make the room humid to soothe the cough.
Fortunately, Carrie's cough is all but gone now. Just a few sniffles remaining.
