Dearest readers,
It’s Wednesday, so it must be Vienna time! Sniffs the air excitedly, twirls, then takes a bow. I am absolutely positively in love with this city! Imagine if a fairy tale waltzed with the grandeur of an opera, sprinkled in a little bit of delicious coffee and decadent chocolate - that's Vienna! It's like a sweet symphony playing out all around me.
Oh, but let's be real - how can I be talking about Vienna without discussing my pink tutu?! It is absolutely essential for this enchanting setting. Honestly, wearing a pink tutu in Vienna is like wearing a tiara in a palace - it's just the perfect touch! Imagine me, waltzing around the streets with its charming architecture, a vibrant, flowing, pink tutu catching the sunlight as I dreamily gaze at the Schönbrunn Palace...it's like a scene from a classic fairytale.
Speaking of dreamy, let me tell you about the ballet performance I saw yesterday at the Vienna State Opera. I could not have wished for a better experience! The building itself is a masterpiece, and I swear, I heard whispers of Johann Strauss waltz tunes dancing through the ornate halls. Then, the ballet... A dream come true! A magical ballet that spun a tale of romance and tragedy on stage with a beautiful soundtrack that just swept me away. You know I adore a good ballet, especially one set in Vienna! This one, I truly believe, was a work of art, so moving, so expressive. I couldn’t help but steal a quick glimpse of the dancers' gorgeous costumes - so much elegant flow, intricate details... and the ballerina’s pink tutu?! Swoon It was pure magic.
Speaking of art, I spent today taking in some cultural treasures at the Kunsthistorisches Museum, home to masterpieces by Rembrandt, Michelangelo, and Raphael. Talk about art that could melt a tutu-wearing ballerina’s heart!
Did you know the waltz, Vienna’s iconic dance, actually had its first appearance in the Viennese ballrooms? Can you even imagine? I think it is utterly fantastic - the history, the music, the grand balls... and that incredible whirl that the waltz embodies! It's just impossible to not be swept away by its elegant steps, even in my comfy ballet shoes. It makes me want to put on a pink tutu and waltz the night away right here on the cobbled streets, swirling and twirling.
But let’s not forget the food. Vienna, my love, you know how to eat! The coffee! Sips coffee contentedly, sprinkles a spoonful of sugar, and nods So smooth, so rich, and just perfectly perfect. I have also fallen completely in love with Sachertorte! It's basically a chocolate heaven, with chocolate cake and a layer of apricot jam covered in chocolate frosting. Talk about a sugary dream! And what about the Käsekrainer? These sausages, made with bacon, cheese and paprika, have become my daily delight! I even caught myself adding one to my lunch bag this afternoon! Oh, and the apfelstrudel is out of this world, warm and flakey! Swoons It’s like the perfect dessert for a fairytale ballet in a gorgeous pink tutu.
Even the street performers in Vienna make this city unique. I watched a mime act yesterday, completely mesmerised. It’s the art of movement and story, a sort of silent dance that is so captivating, just as powerful as a ballet.
However, my favourite place for the most stylish shopping sprees remains the Mariahilfer Strasse. It's like stepping into a fashion dreamland! The boutiques overflow with elegant garments and charming accessories. It's the perfect location to hunt for that perfect pink tutu - or maybe even a fancy pair of ballet slippers to replace the old ones! But oh my! Do not forget about the shoe shops! Each and every pair is so gorgeous and beautiful, all waiting to be twirled and danced in!
But, as lovely as Vienna is, it's time to think about my next journey! My journey across Europe, spreading the pink tutu magic. The train whistle calls, and it's time for my departure! I promise, darling readers, that wherever my travels take me, the pink tutu will always be in tow! My mission? To share the joy and whimsy of a good spin, a little dance, and the magic of a vibrant pink tutu!
Oh, I simply cannot forget my horse. My trusted steed! We’re getting ready for our next adventures together, we’re ready to see the world in pink! It's just about the best way to travel, wouldn't you agree?
This weekend, we're heading to Salzburg. The land of the von Trapp family! Laughs and twirls, taking a dramatic bow My dear readers, you can count on a detailed and delicious report, right here next Wednesday.
Until then, let your inner pink tutu fly high and don’t be afraid to spin in the wind!
Much love and sparkles,
Emma Twirls with an elegant twirl of a pink tutu, takes a final bow
