Vienna - The Schmitterling House

It was raining, and Tony and I had some extra time, so we went to visit the Schmitterling (Butterfly) House, which occupies the Orangerie at the Hofburg Palace.










I don't know if it is worth the price of admission really, but it was a fun diversion from our standard fare of sites and museums.






We walked through the hot and humid space trying as best we could to capture the illusive butterflies on film.





They were quite beautiful, and we were somewhat successful in our Schmitterling Photo Safari.




Before long, it was time for lunch. Tony wanted to have one last Kasekrainer before heading to the airport, so we hit the Wiener Wurstl stand and each got one.






We decided to take the express train, which really is an express train from Central Station to the airport. It is very painless and affordable and definitely the best way to get there.



We discovered (no surprise) that we could get one last piece of Sacher Torte at the airport. The perfect way to end a wonderful trip to Austria.
