We started the day at the Belvedere Palace museum, where we saw many works by Gustav Klimpt, Egon Schiele, and Oskar Kokoshka. This palace was where the last of the Hapsburg dynasty lived, Archduke Franz Ferdinand, whose assassination in 1914 prompted the start of the first world war. In addition to providing residence for some of the Hapsburgs, it was also always an art museum.
After a late lunch at a small, very crowded cafe (wienerschnitzel again, yum!), we then went to see St. Stephen's Cathedral and wandered around the shopping district taking pictures of their spectacular Christmas lights.
After a hot wine on the street, we then went into a casino where I played poker for an hour and a half, just long enough to lose up to my limit. I guess my poker skills need some honing before playing in grand European casinos again.
