Easter
A sunny but chilly day. We walk a 4km loop, then much later on Saturday evening Antoinette produces a spectacular Österjausen. On Sunday the sun is again marvellous but with…
The Irish way!
On Wed 13th April the Irish passport and card finally are delivered around midday. Exciting! In the evening we party with Guinness and rosé prosecco. Trude presents the largest chocolate…
Easter Market
Several days pass, odd folk fight in the kitchen, Lotti appears with Christina not Hans, so odd photos appear. Yesterday we shopped in Maria Hilfer Str, for a tablet, a…
Bike Festival 2022
During the night it snows. In the morning there is a light cover in the garden. The temperatire is freezing throughout the day. Why did we come so early in…
Cafe Savoy & snow
On Saturday Nashmarkt is visited by the royals. Despite the cold, we head through to the Flohmarkt. As nothing there we queue barge into Cafe Savoy. Very busy, but it…
Cafe Sperl
Rain most of the day. In the afternoon we dig out musty brollies and take 40A and D tram to Cafe Sperl, a lovely traditional coffee house. The previous day,…
MTB Kreuzeichenwiese
Testing the new fahrrad with a 26km Komoot loop. Great fun, lasted twice as long as the official time. The seat came loose and the rear wheel fell off. Otherwise…

Night in Bergamo
Early departure with Ryanair where we have to spend the night, leaving only at 2pm the next day for Vienna. Old Bergamo an attractive cobble-stone place, but chilly.
Last day Marrakech
Free day spent in the souk, buying various goodies including spices, and visiting Le Jardin Secret. Dinner at La Collegiale, an outrageously expensive and overrated place. Larry has to leave…
Back to Marrakech
Around 11am we leave the White Camel for lunch in a resto, followed by a tour round a museum (Palais Bahia).
Off to Agafay desert
The dark room in the Riad means we wake up late and rush out for breakfast. Plans for a museum visit reduce to shopping in the souk. At 2pm we…
Express arrives in Marrakech
A ghastly start at 4am when Herr Kalcher picks us up. The wondrous Ryanair takes us via Madrid to Marrakech, arriving 3pm. We hang around until the Baku Beast appears…
A short time in Vienna
In the short time we have before heading to Marrakech, we rush round buying cards and paper for John’s birthday, socks and other delights. Mainly in Mariahilfer Str, but also…
