WTF? Zach was a bit flummoxed when it started to rain on him.

Starbucks, a soya latte and rain outside. Perfect!

Checking out the ducks: Obligatory holiday activity with kids.

Our baby loves his Baby Bjorn.

Hurry up and take it, the sun's in our eyes! Daisy and Zach's pinecone lion.

The hotel gave the kids some very cute teddies.

This reception room was gorgeous. Daisy called it 'old' and 'no good for kids'.

We've just had a wonderful 3 night break in Vienna. We hadn't been before and were really impressed by what a beautiful relaxed city it is. Lots of stunning buildings, nice parks and interesting things to do.

Our hotel was amazing, right in the middle of town opposite the Opera House. We had two huge suites which were about the size of our house. The kids were very impressed by TVs in the bedrooms, bathrooms and living areas. Cartoons in the bath, it doesn't get much better than that when you're two and four. Don't get used to it kids, at 1000 euros per night for each suite, it's probably the nicest hotel they'll ever get to stay in with us. Obviously we weren't picking up the bill.

We spent most of the time hanging out in parks with a couple of trips to a playground. It was so nice to be out in the fresh air lying on lovely green grass.
