Vienna
I'm back! It was a great trip, possibly the best of the three trips to Vienna I've been on with pupils. They behaved very well, there were no incidents or accidents and I had the pleasure to travel in the great company of a colleague who's a lot like me in many regards: we shared and swapped meals when we weren't able to choose. Marillenknödel vs. Kaiserschmarrn and Topfenstrudel vs. Apfelstrudel is a dilemma, particularly when faced with the versions of Demel's and Café Leopold Hawelka respectively.
Marillenknödel: potato dumplings with apricots at their heart
Kaiserschmarrn: pancakes torn apart in the pan, with raisins added, served with either apple sauce or, even better, prune compote (with rum!)
Topfenstrudel: strudel with a quark filling
Apfelstrudel: do I even need to explain?
I realised that I either need an additional zoom for my camera or a camera with a powerful zoom. I bought the latter just a couple of minutes ago... it'll fit into a jacket pocket, which I think is very important.
