The Phrase for Vienna will be WOW what a Room.

 I Have never stayed in one so big and beautiful it had everything.

So thanks to all at the Grand Hotel in Vienna for a wonderful 2 days and nights. (with a special thanks to the room service lady who brought me my breakfast)

And what a beautiful city so clean and crisp. 4 lanes each side with trams and buses to die for.

For being in the war I was amazed at the lack of damage in the center although you did see the different housing when you got into the suburbs. Did a couple of coach rides and saw most of it. Lots of expensive shops as you would expect and a very cafe society. Although I seemed to end up in the Australian bar lol. Thanks guys & Girls, I was only going to stay for one!

The concert at the kursalon was epic. I could just imagine Strauss Playing and tapping his feet as our orchestra leader did. The whole evening was majestic even if I did feel a bit like Billy no mates at dinner lol. I will be going again so if anyone wants to come along let me know lol.

Disney

Well off we went on quite an adventure.  Finished my job at the good old Surbiton Club and we flew out to Disneyland in Paris on 29th December.

I took my daughter Samantha who was 13 at the time.  I knew it would be a nightmare of a shopping trip so I took Plenty of Money. Yes she brought the ears.IMG_0042

Train was wonderful but we did loose our passports  which I didnt notice until the hotel asked for them  DOH

This of course meant a trip to paris on day 2. Mind you got to see the Eiffel Tower so there was a bonus. (well we got close!!)

We stayed at the Newport Bay on the park and went to see buffalo Bills show on new years eve which was fab. Then stood under the castle in the Magic Kingdom at 12.00. There where thousands there but it was certainly an experience I will not forget.

Got the train home on New years day
