Well the visit to Schonbrunn castle was a success with a tour of 26 of the 386 rooms, as well as the royal gardens with the huge fountain of Poisedon and four mermen on merhorses. It reminded me of Versailles in Paris with the grandeur and statues in the vast gardens. With the drizzling rain and cool weather, we spent only a half hour outside; I am sure that the students would have loved to travel to the far side of the gardens, visit the Imperial zoo in the gardens (which apparently has pandas), or wander (and probably get lost) in the maze of hedges. Just to give a size of the gardens, the perimeter is 17 km.
