New York, New Jersey, & now Idaho...

We complained of a couple hours delay leaving Newark.  However, friends Yvonne & Garry left their home in Boise at 1:00 Saturday afternoon. The airline crew didn't show for the first leg of the trip which meant they also missed their connections. The bottom line... They arrived, one suitcase short, at our hotel last night, Sunday, at midnight just as the hotel was locking the door for the night. So I guess you can say they finally got lucky? At any rate they beat us down to breakfast this morning and have managed a full day of sightseeing starting with a city tour (thank you Jean) and a tour of the Schonbrunn Palace (Rick Steves says if you're going to visit one palace, make this the one). No photos allowed inside but got this one outside with John, Judy, Yvonne & Garry.

Finally it was on to lunch (3:00 is a bit late even for us) at the Mozart Cafe (behind John in the photo). And in case you're wondering, no, he didn't have hasenpfeffer for lunch.

 A bit more touring around on foot and a trolley ride put us back at the hotel in time to put our feet up and have a cocktail on the hotel patio before the rain. A very pleasant day! Yvonne is told her suitcase is being flown from London tonight and will arrive in the morning.
