Today we got a much earlier start. We were out the door, got breakfast, and at Albertina Museum just after it opened. We spent a few hours there. It's a nice museum with some really nice exhibits. We saw a good mix of Impressionism, Expressionism, ... Read more >

Even a stopped clock shows the correct time twice a day. The Glockenspiel Clock in Graz is five minutes slow, and is never right. That wouldn't happen in Germany! But we weren't in a hurry. We just wanted to see the carved wooden ... Read more >
