Schonbrunn Palace
was the 1,440 room summer residence of the Habsburgs dating back to the 16th century. Philip was our guide as usual and we had a great time taking a tour of the home as well as walking through its massive gardens. On Saturday we went to the concentration camp, Mauthausen
Gates to Mauthausen
. We took a self guided tour with an audio guide that was in English and explained what each room and building had been used for throughout its terrible history. After arriving back in Vienna we went out to the countryside to have dinner with Philip
Philip and Tyler
, his dad Gustav

. We had a wonderful dinner and some strom, which is wine before it has matured, and then returned to Vienna to go to bed in order to catch our train to Prague the next morning.
