Talk about Vienna

Flashback to the happy times during my holiday... I was thinking how happy I was during the three over weeks I spent in good old Europe. And yah, it's really OLD EUROPE! That's why I love it so much. The buildings you are visiting, the roads you are trodding upon were all used by past generations. And you can just imagine the horses, the carriages, the townsfolk... especially so in the more rural parts where it is more rustic and less touristy.

See how happy we were!!!

Fountain at Neus Rathus! Posted by Picasa


The pic is taken in a fountain in the gardens next to the beautiful Neus Rathus in Vienna. Vienna is spilling over with gardens and imposing buildings. But it has its quaint statues and fountains... quite a site for the eyes. One of the architechturally most beautiful places I've been to, that is if you like pomp and grandeur.

I must admit there is a modicum of escapism in my love of the travels. You can run away from the problems or the thoughts when you are on holiday. Everything is novel, everything fresh. New people to meet, new food to eat, new experiences to attain. What's there not to like?

So when I get sad, or tired, or frustrated, I think about the good memories. They may be occasionally romanticised, but it doesn't matter.
