We had an early start to the day and went to the Schonbrunn Palace which was the summer palace for the Hapsburgs.
It reminded us of Versailles with big beautiful fountains and gorgeous gardens everywhere. We started the tour by using audio phones to listen to information about the royal families who had lived there. It was a great history lesson, especially when we found out that Marie Antoinette was Sisi’s daughter who married King Louis of France. When we went to the gardens there was a band from Asia playing classical music..so it was a perfect way to stroll through the gardens and get lost in the garden mazes. The girls quickly figured out how to maneuver through the pathways and beat us every time to the treehouse exits. We encouraged the girls to see how fast they could get through a shorter maze as we thought it was easy and made for kids. Although we could see them, it was the most complicated maze of all and we had to go in and rescue them from the labyrinth!

We picked up Mae at around 3:00 from her hotel on the other side of town and made our way to Gars am Kamp to see Antigone sing Carmen. Our guesthouse was in a cute small town where if you blinked, it was gone – similar to Ethniko!
Anyways, the day was hot so we went to the next town in search of a pool. We all had a ball as the pool had a huge waterslide and diving boards. It was a great way to cool off and get refreshed for the evening performance.
