Architecture!

Well this city is unbelievable. I walked around the downtown district today which is alot of the Palaces, a long very busy pedestrian mall with all the normal shops like Starbucks, Zara, and Benetton. The Palace district is just breathtaking. Huge windows, columns, carvings, marble everything, and the basilica's that are attached to these palaces are just.... well you'll see the pictures. Many of the buildings are under restoration at the moment so have coverings on one side which is disappointing to not see the full grandeur. I walked around for 6 hrs today, and even though the sunset is prefect pink and purple, I have to get some sleep- Dubai is 2hrs ahead of Vienna, so I'm stuggling to keep my eyes open (at 9pm here). Plus- tomorrow is "THE DAY" I am going to the "Kunsthistoriches" The art museum I have been dreaming of seeing since I was in college. And it's right next door!
