From Venice to Vienna

Today we got up early, had our last breakfast at Pensione Guerrero, and took a vaporetto to the train station for the almost eight-hour ride to Vienna.
In lieu of afternoon gelato, since we were on the train, we had the sfogliotini that we picked up yesterday:

Once we arrived in Vienna, we opted to take an Uber to Pension Suzanne, rather than schlepping our luggage on the U-bahn.

Vienna is beautiful, in a very different way than Venice. We are staying in the middlle of the city, just around the corner from the world-famous opera house. After we dropped off our luggage, we decided to take a walk and look around. 

We stopped at St. Michael's Church to see the plaque honoring the premiere of Mozart's (unfinished) Requiem:

While we were there, we were treated to some organ music on that beautiful organ:

 


We ended our day with goulash at Zum Schwarzen Kameel, then strolled back to our hotel.
