The trip to Vienna went off without a hitch. When we arrived, we took a water taxi. The hotel folks said it would drop us right at our hotel. When the taxi drive announced our arrival, there was one hotel in sight, and it wasn’t ours. He told us to just walk down a very narrow alley and it would be on the next street. At this point, we were wondering if maybe we were being scammed. But we had the taxi number, so we got off and walked down the very narrow alley. Low and behold, our hotel was there.

By the time we checked in, it was about 3. Lunch was getting pretty important (and, as usual, it was pretty good). Then went down to watch the regatta.It was time for gelato and bed. Ciao. You can see some pics of the parade and some of the racers below.
