This will be my last post about our trip to Vienna. There is more I could write about and show you, but I don't want you to fall asleep! And besides, the name of this blog is not Austria Bound.
But, let us take one more quick tour of Vienna.
On Saturday, John and I went to the Naschmarket (outdoor food market) and Flohmarket (flea market). So fun!!
I guess these speak for themselves.
Please note that some of the alcoholic beverages are less
expensive than the coffee, tea and soda.
Ahh tulips. With the promise of Spring, we also see a lot of tulips in Malmö.

After leaving these wonderful markets, we walked to Dorotheum. Dating back to 1707, it is the oldest auction house in Europe. According to the guide book, Dorotheum handles ~ 250,000 pieces of art and antiques every year. We saw new and used jewelry, a room of fur coats, furniture, artwork and a few fun pieces which I will share with you.
The next morning, a beautiful Sunday morning,
we took a final walk around the city center.
Window shopping.
I love the guy with the bike.
Two views of Saint Stephan's Cathedral (note the reflection in the second picture).
Vienna's magnificent Opera House
And finally:
Temptation awaited me at both airports. I guess there really is no place like home...
