Wild boars
Even though the weather could have been better, I went for a walk in the Lainzer Tiergarten today – I had some new hiking boots to break in. On this stroll with a friend, we enjoyed the nice view of Vienna. Moreover, we could see some wild boars, deer, and one lone squirrel.

Welcome to the 21st century
Monday morning instead of Sunday night, the new Terminal 3 instead of the old Terminal 2 – what a difference to the previous year!
Finally, the security check is right at the entrance, so that you can buy some drinks to take aboard. Moreover, the shops are not only modern, but also open – even though they resemble the typical airport shops all over the world. Still: That is more like an airport of a cosmopolitan city!
