On the Eurostar now, final leg back to London. Quite tired after another night in the sleepless seats of Deustche Bahn from Munich to Paris. Bizarrely, I slept better on the day train from Vienna to Munich- had to be shaken awake by an exasperated guard who had been shouting ‘fahrkaten bitte’ for a fruitless few minutes!
It was a very good weekend in Vienna, we really motored through the planning for the European Quaker conference which will be happening there next weekend. Local Quakers in Vienna were very hospitable and friendly, and we enjoyed some wonderful Viennese food- strudel and new wine being particular highlights. The only downside was we were so busy planning that I hardly got to see Vienna- a real shame as it looks very pretty. Next year though…
My few fumbled words of German made me want to learn some more for next time- felt a bit of a foolish pointing tourist at times. I find it reasonably easy to follow what is being said, but am hopeless at stringing words together myself.
Now just a quick day at work before I can catch up on missed sleep.
things that might have been otherwise 
I would like to know where to find the quaker group here in vienna.there is a group in the UN but one has to be a member of the UN
Hi Lorelei,
The Quakers in Vienna are located in the office of Konfliktkultur, on Stadiongasse. More information here:
