Imperial Treasury and horse and carriage ride

Friday, May 10, 2019.  Today we went to the Imperial Treasury in Vienna.  The Treasury houses the crown jewels and includes items that are 1000 years old.  We saw the insignia and gems of the Holy Roman Empire with the Imperial Crown and the Holy Lance.  We saw the crown of Emperor Rudolf II, the Messornat and other treasures of the Order of the Golden Fleece, a cradle for the Roman king, and more.  The audio tour was fantastic.  

Afterwards, we ate lunch and then took an hour long horse and carriage ride through the streets of Vienna.  Beautiful. 

We got ice-cream on the way home, read, and then went to the park from 8-9:00.

Wonderful day!
