Cafe Zauner, Bad Ischl

(português abaixo)

On our way back to Vienna from Hallstatt we stopped at the famous Cafe Zauner, in the city of Bad Ischil. This city is a spa town (the German word bad means bath).

In the 19th century Bad Ischl became a fashionable spa resort with notable guests. In 1849 Emperor Franz Joseph I of Austria chose the town for his summer residence. Years later (1853) the engagement between Franz Joseph and Elisabeth of Bavaria (Sisi) took place in Bad Ischl.

Cafe Zauner is famous for its Austrian cakes. We did our best to savour the ones we could fit 🍰.

De regresso a Viena, de Hallstatt, paramos no famoso Cafe Zauner, na cidade de Bad Ischil. Esta cidade é uma cidade termal (a palavra alemã é bad significa banho).

No século 19, Bad Ischl tornou-se uma estância termal elegante com convidados notáveis. Em 1849, o imperador Franz Joseph I da Áustria escolheu a cidade para a sua residência de verão. Anos depois (1853), o engajamento entre Franz Joseph e Elisabeth da Baviera (Sisi) ocorreu em Bad Ischl.

Cafe Zauner é famoso por seus bolos austríacos. Nós fizemos o nosso melhor para saborear os que o "espaço interno" permitiu.

Churchill, feeling settled and confortable after the long trip

Image
Our pet Churchill is just 6 months old and we were concerned about how he would react after the long trip. He seems to have adapted well as he is the same lively and playful dog. He likes to play all the time, enjoys long walks in a park close by, goes up and down stairs in no time (in spite his small size) and likes to be present. When he wants peace, he goes to his chosen "secret hideout" underneath the bed. Nosso cãozinho Churchill tem apenas 6 meses de idade e nós estávamos preocupados sobre como ele reagiria após a longa viagem. Mas ele demonstra ser o mesmo cão alegre e brincalhão. Ele gosta de jogar o tempo todo, gosta das longas caminhadas em um parque por perto, sobe e desce escadas rapidamente (e apesar de seu tamanho pequeno) e gosta de estar presente em tudo. Quando ele quer a paz, ele vai para o seu "esconderijo secreto" por baixo da cama. Churchill inspecting my work Churchil inspecionando meu trabalho  Happy after a long

We spent two weeks at the Geodetic Observatory (GO) Pecný, located in a hill 1.5 km near the village of Ondřejov. Ondřejov itself is about 1 hour by public transportation from Prague. A bucolic and picturesque place, located inside a forest. We stayed in a small cottage they have for visiting researchers and scholars. GO Pecný date back to the 1960's and their main activity was the determination of astronomical latitude, longitude and azimuth, evening operations. Later on, they started to perform satellite photography, also evening operations. Therefore, an infrastructure was necessary for the scientists and technicians to stay overnight. The main office building, built at that time, had offices each one with a bed, and every floor had a kitchen, bathroom and shower. Today, a similar way of working exists. The scientists, engineers and technicians may spend two or three days living in the office, doing the rest of the work in other places such as Prague, Plze ň ,  or even at t
