title A Postcard From Hofburg Palace, Vienna, Austria - 18th April 2000 intro Nosher's on the way back from Australia after a last trip out to where the Sydney Olympics is about to be hosted. On the way, there's a four hour layover in Vienna thanks to an obscure-but-cheap route involving Austria-based Lauda Air. It's not long enough for a proper trip, and doesn't leave much time if anything goes wrong, but Nosher risks it anyway and takes the train from the airport to Vienna and back - armed only with a camera and some rusty German phrases. scan2015-05-08-0017 Syndey Harbour Bridge from Milson's Point scan2015-05-11-0001 Syndey Harbour scan2015-05-08-0001 A tall-ship mast scan2015-05-08-0002 A tall ship in Sydney scan2015-05-08-0003 A battleship scan2015-05-08-0008 The site of the Sydney Olympics scan2015-05-11-0005 Syndey Olympics scan2015-05-08-0016 Unusual lights down the avenue scan2015-05-08-0009 A tour group runs under some fountains scan2015-05-08-0010 A fountain over the footpath scan2015-05-08-0006 Crazy signage on a Vienna street scan2015-05-08-0005 A Wien tram scan2015-05-08-0011 A load of horses-and-carts wait for tourists scan2015-05-11-0013 A Vienna square somwhere scan2015-05-11-0015 St. Stephen's Cathedral, Vienna scan2015-05-11-0014 Near St. Stephen's Cathedral scan2015-05-11-0024 More Vienna, and the Opera House scan2015-05-11-0034 In front of the Hofburg Palace scan2015-05-08-0012 The Palm house at Hofburg Palace scan2015-05-11-0030 The Hofburg Palace scan2015-05-11-0022 Café by the Palm House at Hofburg scan2015-05-11-0032 A Dali-esque molten watch outside Hofburg Palace scan2015-05-11-0021 A gate somewhere scan2015-05-11-0017 Back home, and The Sock is up a tree scan2015-05-11-0016 A sunset and a field of Oilseed in flower
