These are the views we have on our way to and from school. The cherry trees has started to bloom and I can't wait for them to shed their petals, finally making this the Street of a thousand blossoms.

One of the nearest train station from our place is Floridsdorf. From there it is easy to travel with the U6 line and the Schnellbahn. U6 line is the longest of all 5 lines in Vienna with 24 stops until the other end. The train going to the Vienna airport is accessible here too. Speaking of the airport, well, the flights that has been cancelled due to the volcanic ash crisis are taking longer than the passengers are willing to delay...a friend who has planned her vacation has to wait for a call from the local agency they bought the tickets from...

From the U6 line, one can also travel until Westbahnhof and from there travel to Berlin and other parts of Europe. Costs and departure information can be found at Öbb.at.

I am not sure if the trains are cancelled too but for those who are stranded, it is not a good idea to travel with taxis. :D We watched yesterday how a CNN reporter stucked in Poland took a cab from there until Berlin, the fare? 2400 Euros! :D

Anyway, the installation in the photos can be found outside the Floridsdorf station. The kids obviously enjoy being near it. In this same area, there are lots of flyers and newspapers that would be shoved at you, book bazaars are also often held here and sometimes mobile stores selling sausages, sweets, punch, souvenir items can be found here.
