With thanks to Connie from HfP,
She shows us from the Ritz Carlton rooftop, that next to the IC Vienna, the ice skating rink is back !
Pretty cool, as on a slab of frozen ice, i am like a gator and S/O is like a hippo.... think Disney's Fantasia on iceskates........Youtube > Ponchielli Dance of the Hours + Fantasia

Other news is that i am very impressed by the hotel, someone responsible for Club guests reached out per email a week in advance to inquire how to make our stay more memorable. And they were smart to send the Club Intercontinental priviliges list to inform us.

-----You can expect following benefits at the Club InterContinental:



•     Breakfast at the Club Lounge from 7:30 a.m. until 11:30 a.m.

•     Afternoon tea, with freshly made sweet and savoury delights from 2 p.m. until 4 p.m.

•     Dinner, evening drinks & canapés from 5:30 p.m. until 8:00 p.m.

•     Complimentary high-speed Internet access

•     Late check-out until 4:00 PM

•     Club meeting room for 8 people (upon availability and reservation)

Prior to your arrival, we would like to get in touch with you personally to see, how we can get the most out of your stay for you and to ensure that your arrival at the hotel will be as smooth as possible. This call would only take a few minutes and it is very helpful for us to understand better, how we can assist you to make your time in Vienna a memorable one. In case you would like to receive this call, we would kindly ask you to provide us with your telephone number and a possible time frame when you will be available.

Certainly, you can send us an email with all your wishes and details as well.

In case y'all are wondering the purpose of this visit, satisfying the need for Weihnachtsmarckten

And bringing it back for our family reunion next December at IC Bali Jimbaran.
And the need to go back to the source

with the Tower of Babel
and satisfy my inner nerd at
