Christmas Market at Schonbrunn Palace

Arrived on time this morning and got the train to the apartment with relatively little difficulty.  It's a nice apartment right across the street from the Schonbrunn Palace, which is a major tourist site.  We hung out in the apartment for awhile and then I took a nap, having slept little on the flight.  When Deldar emerged and I revived we went over to the Christmas market at Schonbrunn Palace.  It's a lovely market with lots of different crafts and food stalls.   We walked around admiring the wares while listening to Dixieland Jazz which was playing live on the stage in front of the Christmas tree.  We enjoyed a large apple cinnamon pretzel, shared cheese dumplings and enjoyed hot gluwein(Karen), rumpunchen (me) and Hot Apple WIne (Deldar).  The Dixiieland music was hilarious as we walked around the grounds of the elegant Viennese palace.  It has been pretty foggy here today, clearing for awhile mid-afternoon and then getty really foggy again as we went to the market.  It made for a rather nice, ethereal feel to the early evening.  We stayed there for a couple of hours and finally came back to the apartment to thaw out.  Tomorrow we will be more adventurous, when I've had a decent night's sleep!  I've included some pics from the market.
