My favourite designer boutique on the high street of Vienna Petkov. The highlight of his Vienna lable is the textured fabrics. The skirt I liked was made of woven copper and cotton, as it held a fascinating structure. I took great pleasure in trying it on. I had to grab some photographic evidence to remember this glorious boutique.
The driving tour of Wien was lovely. I saw so many great buildings. So here a a few of my favourite highlights.
Although I went to Vienna for a consulation on my knee, it did give me the oppotunity to see Vienna. The first Day I arrived Ruth and David took me on a driving tour of Wien. This was a fantastic way to see the town in a way which did not effect my knee. After my cnsulataion on Monday, my doctor said I would have the opperation on Friday the 5th of September. So this gave me four days to enjoy Vienna.
I was so excited to be at the Louvre. The extensive collection was so special. It was fantastic to see all of the paintings and artifacts I have seen so often in art books and documentaries.

The range of Lint chocolate avaliable at the Galeries Lafyete was quite amazing. Needless to say I was as happy as a chocoholic can be in such situations. So I purchased one block of Darck lint chocolate with lavender and Blueberries. It was truly lovely.
How do we pass the time on a flight from Kiev to Berlin? Paul and I play Gin Rummy for two. “My magic hand” has an uncanny knack for winning every game. We enjoy the blissful game for but a while and just as Paul is on the verge of a depression, we stop. I would also like to emphasize that this trend has been going on for 6.5 years! We need to play a new two person card game.
A COMPETITION: a mystery prize for the person who has a suggestion that works!
Just as the lovely design sights of Kiev were eating away at my soul and gauging out one eye at a time, along comes our trip to Berlin.
Architecture, art, design and practicality meet with the past and a look to the future.
I am in visual heaven!!!
