Day 13 — Halfway

We reached the halfway point.  We had a nice slow day.  Walked around a little after breakfast, relaxed in the room then went to the Albertina.  It’s a museum across from the Opera House.  We saw a collection that ranged from Monet to Picasso.  They had only a few from Monet but a whole room of Picassos.  The entire collection is on permanent loan from a single family.  We also toured the state rooms of the palace.  And only a few at that.  Darn big place!  What I don’t understand is the room layout.  You go from room to room where we would have all those rooms off a long hallway or a few hallways.  In those days, at least in this palace, to get from room A to room C, you need to go through room B.  Makes me wonder what the people in room B think!

We went back to the same restaraunt we found on Friday and had a nice dinner and a nice chat with the owner.  Then off to Starbuck’s because it’s the only cafe open after 6pm on a Sunday.
