sounds a bit spooky but it wasn't. it was actually very peaceful and sunny. we took a tram ride on the number 71 to the famous zentralfriedhof (central cemetery) in simmering. seriously, its HUGE.
Fun- we went there (took the same tram too!) and then had dinner at this kick ass restaurant across the street- where they only serve schnitzel. Great experience and love your photos and zoom lens.
Did you know there are more people IN the Friedhof (Graveyard) than there are in Vienna?
It is a wonderful and peaceful place. It is especially wonderful on All Saints Day when many folk place flowers and lights on the graves of their loved-ones (and the authorities lay on extra trams!). There's even a grave which shows you how to make a paper boat! (Heidinger's I think).
