Holiday trip: Day 4 – Vienna… skating on thin ice, ich bin ein Berliner…

We started the day with cakes from the hotel, then moved on to a proper buffet breakfast.

Suitably fuelled, we went to the Wiener Eistraum, which is German for “sausage pain”. We skated there for quite a long time, but were under no pressure to keep going at the ticket lasted all day and lockers were provided. There were snack stalls around the rinks, where we had these Berliners:

Doughnut with plum jam inside

These doughnuts are called “krapfen” in Austria, which is obviously hilarious.

I wrote “rinks” before, because there were several of them, all linked up with ice corridors and ramps. You could actually skate uphill to a big rink closer to the clock tower of the parliament building.
