  • Grünangergasse

    Sometimey you take a turn and suddenly find yourself in a lovely street you´ve never been before. As I walked home through Singerstrasse I discovered a commemorative plaque about the author Franz Grillparzer living in this house and decided to try a different way and explored this little street: Grünangergasse. And there is a lot to explore! Beautiful buildings, narrow passages, hidden courts and many details. It seems to be a combination of former palais, guilds and residential homes. Definately a place I have to explore even more!

  • Sunday at Britain

    Greeted by the sounds of pipes and drums I spent this morning at Kursalon Hübner, enjoying cream tea with scones and a little british flair. From Twinings to British Airways, House of Scotland, Brompton bicycles, used books and Whiskey – there was a lot to discover and to imagine to be in the UK for a little bit.
