Bid farewell to Salzburg this morning after a nice breakfast with my host family - delicious pate. Maybe that explains why I didn't see Mr. & Mrs. Duck this morning? 

Train ride from Salzburg to Vienna really wasn't memorable nor very picturesque but only took 2+ hrs.  When I arrived at the Vienna AirBnb apartment I was horrified to read that my apartment was on the 5th floor. After pate and wiener schnitzel I was concerned about my cardiac fitness and wondering if I had enough time to lug my bag up 5 flights of stairs beofre the opera tonight at 8:00 - to my relief, there is an elevator, so no dietary restrictions required.

No pictures of Vienna yet but I will post some from the opera tonight. Let me know if any of you want me to tweet live from the opera.
