O Vienna! Great, jet lag-defying day yesterday – roaming the old town, running into two parades (anniversary of the Second Republic?), running into Eduard Suess (mostly lauded for sourcing Vienna's excellent tap water, not Gondwanaland) and hanging out, drinking wine with Jon and Emma at a Heurigen!
