Giving yourself permission
to pause and face yourself,
slipping out the backdoor
to visit "The Kiss"
The Bakery at Hotel Daniel-
a stone's throw from the south gate of The Upper Belvedere's Palace,
home to Gustav Klimt's "The Kiss"

At least the weather has cooled down some. I'll be heading right by there later today. Curious coincidences.
ReplyDeleteA curious incident of coffee in the afternoon, up Belvedere heights? ;-)
Delete"To pause and face yourself" really resonates with me right now. Thank you for coming by today, I wonder when I've been on a break if anyone will come back. You made me smile :)
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely Wednesday.
You are welcome! :-)
DeleteCan you recommend the Bakery? It´s on my list since the hotel has opened...
ReplyDeleteVreni,
DeleteI have been there a couple of times for lunch, and I like the place (and not only because the British cook there has an expansive repertory of authentic Indian food, among others). Not to forget the best Porterhouse steak this side of the Atlantic, as I have heard. ;-)
I really like lacy iron gates.
ReplyDeleteOh yes, there's something special about iron lace.
DeleteGreat post for the day, Merisi! I love the words
ReplyDelete"to live in the moment,
to pause and face yourself" A great reminder! Hope your week is going well!
Sylvia
Thank you, same to you! :-)
DeleteAm so jealous that our daughter will get to Vienna before we do!
ReplyDeleteShe arrives Tuesday but for one night only. Maybe we will ALL get together when the show opens in the fall of 2013.
Yours was one of the first blogs I ever followed and still one of my top favorites!
Glad you enjoyed my beach pics!
I remember well when Maryam introduced us!
DeleteI keep all fingers crossed for a meeting here.
The Kiss would be even sweeter after this chocolate cake :-).
ReplyDeleteIndeed! :-)
DeleteI should come back to Vienna and meet both you and Vreni at the Bakery... or, you should come to Paris next time I am there!
ReplyDeleteBises,
Genie
Have bag, will travel .... ;-)
DeleteYes, so important to live in the moment.
ReplyDeleteOh yes! :-)
DeleteI love your elegant coffeehouse shots. The Upper Belvedere's Palace looks quite regal. It is a good thing sometimes to "face yourself" and do some self-analyzing.
ReplyDeleteThank you! :-)
DeletePrince Eugene's summer palace is a jewel.
Love the photos...have to ask: Does the table in the first shot say, "Fort Worth"?
ReplyDeleteNot Forth Worth, but something about being "optimistic" (need to check that! *smile*).
DeleteThe art of living so perfectly expressed in your words and pictures! Vienna really does contemporary style coffee houses every bit as well as the traditional.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Karen!
DeleteThank goodness, Vienna has some great contemporary venues!
Ahh! The Kiss. Our local village cafe bar in Italy has a Klimt theme on the walls. Must go and photograph it sometime... To visit Vienna would be a dream come true... However, must live in the moment... I like the angle on the first photo. I wonder how you got it?
ReplyDeleteI stood on my toes, something like that, trying not to be to conspicuous. ;-)
DeleteLooking forward to see the interior of your coffee bar!
I leave on Sunday for seven weeks of Vienna, staying with my nephew! My sister is flying out today. We'll stop in at this coffee shop when we're seeing the Belevedere. Thanks for the blogging about it.
ReplyDeleteDear A.,
DeleteI think that is a wonderful idea, lunch would also be great there.
Btw, I never blog about places which I don't like, meaning, whenever I mention a place, I would send my friends there too.
Enjoy your stay in Vienna,
Merisi
That is why we all follow you Marisa ... Why would you tell us about the places you don't like .. WHEN you have sooooo many fabulous places for us to go.. and if we need advice I am sure that you would help us .. :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Anne, you nailed it! ;-)
DeleteLife's way too short to dwell on unpleasantries.
