We had a traditional Austrian meal - beef broth & dumpling, braised beef in a very delicious gravy & strudel. All excellent! Finally the highlight of the tour was the concert which started at 8:30. We went back into the palace & as we had a glass of sparkling wine included we collected this at the queueing…”
