OMG i touched a Squirrel!!!!

I TOUCHED A SQUIRREL!!!!

They are soooo cute!!!!

We visited the Schonbrunn Palace.  Talk about opulent. 

As usual were unable to take actual pictures inside the state rooms but even the grounds and the outside you can see how amazing the place was.

As we were walking around the gardens we saw little squirrels running around.  they just come up to you expecting food i guess.

Plus when we got up this morning when we went out onto the balcony there were swans and ducks coming up to the boat.

Vienna is a beautiful city, so many fantastic buildings.

But when we went for a walk you can see that they are in a recession.  Dark dingey buildings, shops closed down.  It was abit depressing. To see the beauty and wealth on one hand but in reality the hardship most residence have to live with.

But on a happier note..... did i tell you i touched a squirrel :)

The front of the Palace, this was just their Summer residence.

The grounds behind the palace, the building way at the back is still part of the grounds.

    1. well i did ask him if i could touch his horn, and Scott took forever to take the photo so the guy was having a chuckle.
