Austria Road Trip – Episode 814

Listen to about an Austria road excursion as the Amateur Traveler talks to Michael January about driving Empress Sisi’s Street.

Michael states, “There are several Empress Sisi streets. Elizabeth, the Empress of Austria and queen of Hungary, is the princess Diana of the German-talking world. She was a girl that loved the place. And at 16, she was introduced to the emperor of Austria. They married, and it was a storybook enjoy tale. She turned a fashion idol. She was lovely. Midway by way of her everyday living, she obtained more mature, tragedy struck, and she was in the end assassinated. There had been videos informed about the passionate tale of the emperor and the young emperor. There’s a new collection coming out on Netflix in September and Oct [2022] shot in Germany about the passionate adore tale.”

“There are intriguing places alongside some type of route. There are some in Hungary, and there are some in Austria and Germany, and every one particular is identified as the Empress Sisi street. It is generally sites that are element of the story of attention-grabbing destinations to visit. And you have to journey alongside a road to get there. So it is not a road. It is a selection of destinations.”

Michael commences us in Vienna, where we stop by a selection of the royal web pages, including the cafe society that employed to entertain people ready to fulfill with the emperor. We go to the Imperial Crypt, the Hofburg Palace (with its Sisi Museum and the Spanish Driving University), and the Schönbrunn Palace.

We check out Resort Ambassador with its connection to Mark Twain and Lodge Sacher Vienna, which is renowned for its Sachertorte.

As we head out of Vienna, we check out the Hermesvilla, which the emperor created for his bride. We also stop by the Lainzer Tiergarten and the royal Laxenburg castles.

We make a end at Mayerling, which is famous for the mysterious demise of the son of Empress Sisi and his spouse. We also check out the oldest consistently occupied Cistercian monastery in the planet at the Heiligenkreuz Abbey.

If 19th-century princesses are not your issue, Michael also recommends a end at the Audi driving expertise and the Pink Bull Ring Racetrack.

If you can pay for it, remain at the Lodge Schloss Gabelhofen or later on in the trip at the Stanglwirt Resort. A person is in a castle, and the other is a position where young ones can ride a Lipizzaner foal.

At the Admont Abbey, you can see a Baroque library. In close proximity to Innsbruck, you can tour a salt mine, stop by the strange Swarovski Crystal Environment, or see the Hofburg palace.

If you loop back again to Vienna from Innsbruck, you can end at the Dürnstein Castle (exactly where Richard the Lionheart was held for ransom) or the large Göttweig Abbey.

An appealing way to do a street vacation is to decide on a topic, as Michael does in this episode. But whether you are strolling in the footsteps of a princess or just savoring the elegance of the country, should really an Austria Street Excursion be in your long run?

on Journey to London, England – Episode 813

Good day Chris

Definitely liked the London exhibit. I reside in Southend, 1 of the gateway
airports stated a seaside vacation resort which receives heaps of working day trippers
from London, we also have the longest pleasure pier in the environment at
just about 1.3 miles.

My suggestion for London is the Skygarden in Fenchurch St, near to the Tower of
London and in the vicinity of to exactly where I get the job done. Great views like the Shard but
with the bonus of its free, just require to e-book in progress, bar and
restaurant at the best.

Regards

Mark
