VIENNA: Klosterneuberg and the Danube

Finally, our long-awaited trip to Vienna has arrived. Mara and I packed up the girls yesterday and drove the 7 hour (but took us 9 hours) trip ourselves while Rob flew in directly from the U.S. We are staying in a lovely little apartment-hotel in Klosterneuberg, a beautiful old monastery town just outside Vienna.

Here are the girls, ready to go, sunglasses and all!

While Rob took off on a bike ride, the rest of us hiked up the hill to the beautiful monastery church. It was in-session for the Catholic holiday and we were not dressed appropriately, so we did not go inside.

I then joined Rob for a bike ride along the Danube. The pathway apparently goes for miles and miles. And it's all flat -- which was nice for a change. Check out the waterskier behind me. I wish I could have done that!

After grabbing a bite for lunch, we took the girls for a dip in the Danube. It definitely was not very clean.
