Kermis at W4

A year is gone and therefore the traditional kermisses took place. On Saturday we went to our neighbour village for the shooting gallery as well as a couple of Zwettler beers and good food. Sunday was followed by the kermesse at the monastery. Sunshine and a tasty cutlet made it a nice afternoon.

Free Drinks & BBQ at Strandbar

The harbingers of the next election are in town. In October the federal state election will take place in Vienna and therefore the campaigning parties offer benefits. That background brought us to the Strandbar to an event called 'Urban Passion'. Free drinks and meat from the barbecue supported one of the last nice summer evenings in the city.

Wine, Sound and Sunset

At the Nussberg in Vienna a happening took place called 'Wine, Sound and Sunset'. As the header says it was primarily to drink wine, listen to the music (broadcasting dj-line) and watch the sunset over Vienna. We took the shuttle-service up the mountain. Unfortunately the area was a bit crowded and we had to wait for our meal for a long time. Nevertheless the wine supply worked. After hours of relaxation with friends we went down half the mountain and then stopped the shuttle to give us a ride for the last kilometers.

Der Zarewitsch (The Tsarevich)

The last big summer open air festival we attended was 'Der Zarewitsch'. An operetta in three acts by Franz Lehár. The plot is loosely based on a true story: the self imposed exile of the son of Peter the Great, Alexei. The event took place at the lake stage in Moerbisch (lake Neusiedl). The setting was also quite great and the well known melodies made us a great evening.
