Vienna City Centre

We wanted to view St Stephen Cathedral so we had to walk all the way through the city centre..


St. Stephen's Cathedral is situated in the city centre, and for centuries it has been the heart of Vienna. It is one of the most famous Viennese sights and was built in 1147. The cathedral was dedicated to St. Stephen, Duke Rudolf IV of Habsburg who ordered the complete restructuring of the church in Gothic style.

Twin bananas

Today this cute little darling visited me. His grandparents brought him over for the very first time. He's so cute as he smiled readily. I was tempted to carry him and he was fine with that. Some babies don't like strangers.  I carried him and kissed his cheek several times..So adorable.
