A Postcard From: Hofburg Palace, Vienna, Austria - 18th April 2000

Nosher's on the way back from Australia after a last trip out to where the Sydney Olympics is about to be hosted. On the way, there's a four hour layover in Vienna thanks to an obscure-but-cheap route involving Austria-based Lauda Air. It's not long enough for a proper trip, and doesn't leave much time if anything goes wrong, but Nosher risks it anyway and takes the train from the airport to Vienna and back - armed only with a camera and some rusty German phrases.
