From Vienna to Budapest

After visiting Vienna, our next destination was Budapest. Therefore, we travelled through the outback of both Austria and Hungary.

The European countries are very advanced in harnessing green energy by using the windmills. The Asian countries still have many things to learn about harnessing green energy.

There were plenty of wildflowers by the roadside. We took some time to admire these flowers at the final rest stop before entering Budapest.

Appreciating Music in Vienna

During one evening in Vienna, we went for a concert featuring the waltz music by Johann Strauss. The concert hall is inside a stand-alone building in the heart of the city.

The concert hall is not very big, but big enough for a medium-scale chamber music. Beautiful chandeliers adorn the ceiling of the hall.

When the concert was about to start, we took our seats which were at the last few rows. When everybody had settled down, the first tuned took its note.

The performance was a mixture of waltz music and excerpts from operas as well as ballroom dancing. It was an enjoyable evening at the city which was once the cradle of music.
