On to Vienna > |
| Leaving Szentendre | From our guesthouse window: the 'moon balloon' (as we called it) because it would hover lit up each night, looking like the moon | |

| VIENNA - Karlskirche (St. Charles Church) | Inside Karlskirche, a beautiful baroque interior but the ceiling frescoes were obscured by scaffolding | |
| | ||
 |
 |
 |
| ...but for a few euros we could ride an elevator to the top | ...for a rare opportunity to view the rotunda frescoes (by Rottmayr) up close | |
| | ||
 |
 |
|
| ...so close we could (almost) touch them | ||

 |
| Back at the base of the cathedral, we see an organ concert is about to begin, but look who shows up... | A dozen riot police vans pull up in front of the cathedral entrance | The 'storm troopers' put on their riot gear - while the local concertgoers (far right) pay them no mind |

 |
 |
 |
| The cathedral seemed to be surrounded by riot police | Ray and Scott try to look cool while the storm troopers patrol the area | The reason for the storm troopers: a regularly recurring neo-nazi protest passes the cathedral |
