Saturday night we had tickets to a Marionette Theatre Production of Mozart’s ‘The Magic Flute’. The theatre is on the property of Schonbrunn palace, so we took the subway over there. The palace grounds were so pretty! The marionette show was really awesome. We were both amazed at how well the puppeteers were able to make the puppets look lifelike. And the costumes were really awesome too. The music was from a recording by the Berlin Philharmonic, which was spectacular.
After the show, we took a tram back towards the city center to walk around a bit. We immediately saw a café that was showing the Spain – Paraguay game outside, but we didn’t want to watch there because we didn’t want to eat food; we at that point really wanted ice cream. I wanted to find a place with spaghetti ice cream because Alison hadn’t heard of it and didn’t quite believe that such a thing was possible. So at the first café, I say ‘It would be awesome if we found a place serving spaghetti ice and showing the soccer game’. So, we turn the corner, and right there we find a store selling spaghetti ice and showing the game! Alison got the spaghetti ice, and I got pizza ice – basically vanilla gelato smeared on a plate to make the ‘dough’, strawberry sauce for the ‘tomato sauce’ and then all sorts of fruit for the toppings. So tasty. Alison has pictures on her camera. :)
