After our time in Nürnberg, we took a 5-hour train ride to Vienna. Olaf had business to do on Monday and Tuesday, so we snuck in the Christmas Market on Sunday.
We were pretty Christmas-marketed-out by that point, but we went anyways. We didn't stay for long, but we did enjoy it. On Tuesday we went to another, smaller market in a different area of town, at the suggestion of friends of ours. We thought the second one was much much better than the main market in front of the town hall.
As we were approaching the market, I noticed that a handful of trees were decorated with very unique lights. When we finally got close, we realized there were hot air balloons, lit up and floating in the trees. So pretty! I know Grandma and Papa would really like these :)
The other trees were decorated with different things. Below is a picture of a tree decorated with massive red hearts, which looked more like blood platelets from below.
My treat was a candy apple. These were one of my favorites growing up. I remember having one at the rodeo. I think that was our last year, because one of the riders got gored.
The Vienna city streets were really beautifully decorated with different, massive formations of white lights. Sometimes they were draped in panels, and other times they were huge chandeliers.
Olaf and I will be in India until before Christmas, so there probably won't be any new posts until then. We're going on a tiger safari!
