2 cities in 3 days with lots of yummy food

Starting in Prague we enjoyed a meal of traditional Czech food with a modern twist

Cucumber ginger lemonade. Loved this drink, however they did NOT use burp-less cucumbers :)

Katie's dish of Duck Confit with potato dumplings was my favorite. I will take duck like this anytime.

My dish of beef tenderloin was tastyreminding me of thanksgiving dinner with the stuffing-like bread dumplings and current dressing.

Then off to Vienna o the train. Yes we sang the Blue Danube waltz and may have yodeled as the train crossed the Danube into Vienna.

Before the opera that night we had italian. That is a calzone the size of a football on Katie's plate. It was prepared and baked in an oven right next to us and the man was a magician with dough. Wow! 

Gutenmorgen Vienna! We worked up quite the appetite during our cold morning walk around the city and meandering with the hordes of people through the farmers market. My pastries weighed at least 2 pounds. An apple strudel and something filled with a less sweet tasting eggnoggy custard. It was hard to balance them on our laps they were so huge. You know that pigeon is just waiting for one to go down. We both almost lost our fingers to frostbite to enjoy these sweeties.

Later hotdogs. These aren't just any hot dogs. This is a hotdog/bratwurst filled with cheese in a whole crusty baguette. Perfect when sitting on a bench when accompanied by an accordion player performing Flight of the Bumble Bee.

After a very packed day (more tomorrow) we ended the evening with this: an original Sacher Torte. The cake is drier on the inside than expected but the yummy dark chocolate on the outside makes up for it.
