Day 20: Home

This should be called day 20 and 21... it was a longer day than we expected today.


We had a nice, leisurely breakfast then got a taxi early so we could stop off at the Hundertwasserhaus apartment block on the way to the airport.   The building is an eclectic, very colourful, hipster building that shows a different side of the orderly heart of Vienna.   Along the Danube nearby there are also numerous graffiti murals which contradict the lawfulness of areas we’ve seen so far.


Our flights were a 3 hour hop to Lisbon then an 8 hour flight back to YYZ.   The Lisbon airport was a huge contrast to Vienna..... older, pretty run down, not very clean and quite sparse, at least the part that we saw.

Papa and Blair showed up soon after we got to Lisbon.  It sounded like they had a great trip.  Beth and I plan to go there, alone, in the near future.  

Even though we were on the runway at 930 in Toronto, we didn’t get Abby’s bag until just before midnight, capping off a shocking number of delays and gaffes at Pearson International.

It’s always nice coming home.  We had a great trip but now we are home, sweet, home.
