Vienna And Cycling Along The Danube

Vienna has everything for the visitor, applied arts, architecture, science, music and literature and of course wine, women and good food. But the irony is I did not enjoy any of it as Vienna is too xxxxxxg expensive that I only managed to feast my eyes on the sights in the city for a day. Yes, the city is fascinating and captivating, if you can afford, that is. You can party all night, sightseeing all day, music around the clock, dance in high heels or flip flops, wine at taverns, cafes and bars,or just enjoy chilling out at the Prater, the unique recreational area and amusement park that boasts of 250 attractions.for young and old. The onetime imperial hunting grounds were opened to the public in 1766. 2,500 trees line the Hauptalle (main avenue) where joggers, cyclists and horse drawn carriages are seen daily. To get an overview of the 6 million square meter site you can take the Giant Ferris Wheel and enjoy Vienna from 65 meters up.

For all of you, just enjoy the pictures:

Those bike trails are amazing. When you go back to KL, you should campaign for a bike trail from Kayu Hitam to JB. It is definitely not a pipe dream. Joe
