Vienna, Austria Jan 3 to Jan 6

We went to Vienna to see mums side of the family. We met mums cousin Martina, her daughter Lilly and mums aunty Hanni at the train station. I met Martina's husband Kalechi when we went to Martina's house to drop our luggage off. That afternoon they showed me around town and we saw the Belvedere Palace. That night I met my great grandfather, it was really cool to meet him, he is 92 and still looks healthy.



On the second day i went with mums other cousin Manuela. We went for a trip around the Ring Boulevard and saw all the old buildings, like the Opera house. Then she showed me the centre of Stephensplatz. There we went to St Stephens Cathedral to look at the view of Vienna from the tower. We also did a bit of shopping.



On the third day dad and I went to Schonbrunn where the kings and queens of Austria used to live. I have now seen the palace where Marie Antoinette grew up as a princess palace where she lived as queen of France (Versailles). That night we had dinner with Hanni, Robert and Martina.
