Hundertwasser in Vienna
About five months ago, I visited the Hundertwasser Art Center in Whangarei. Now I am back in Vienna, and the Museum Hundertwasser in the Kunst Haus Wien opened its doors again two weeks ago (after several months of renovation). So, what could be more fitting than paying a quick visit to this museum? Continue reading Hundertwasser in Vienna

At the heart of Austrian Democracy
Today, I made the “mistake” of attending the open day of the Austrian Parliament (which was re-opened after its renovation). When I got there 20 minutes before opening, it was already a bit busy. Continue reading At the heart of Austrian Democracy

"Dampfross & Drahtesel" instead of Dolce Vita
Originally, I wanted to explore Pisa today. As this is currently not possible (for obvious reasons), I decided to go on a day trip by bike instead: I cycled along the "Dampfross & Drahtesel" bike route North of Vienna. Continue reading "Dampfross & Drahtesel" instead of Dolce Vita

Autumn around Vienna
Luckily, autumn in (and around) Vienna is not only dominated by the fog: Today, it was sunny almost all day – especially on the Rax, one of the mountains close to Vienna. Continue reading Autumn around Vienna

Autumn in Vienna
What I do not like about Vienna, are some of its autumn days, when thick fog lies over the city. Continue reading Autumn in Vienna

Open House Vienna
This weekend, the Open House Vienna was held for the fifth time. During this event, one can get an insight view of some buildings that are normally closed to the public. I took this opportunity to visit a few well-known buildings. Continue reading Open House Vienna

A leisurely weekend
I spent the past weekend with some friends in Frankenfels (in Lower Austria). It was a rather leisurely weekend with observing the lunar eclipse, visiting the Nix cave, barbecuing, and a short stroll over the surrounding hills. Continue reading A leisurely weekend

Postman Bernie
As already mentioned, I brought three postcards from Post Office Bay home to Austria. I combined the delivery of the two of these cards (going to the Wiener Neustadt area) with a bike tour. Continue reading Postman Bernie
