Graz

We are staying near a building that looks like some sort of monster from star wars.  It is the Kunsthaus Graz (art gallery).

Dad and I visited the Kaiser Ferdinand II mausoleum. We climbed up the stairs to the top of the bell tower. We saw some mountains and in the mausoleum where the king was buried was some gold and pictures. In the church bit there was bronze pole to hold it all up. There were mirrors so you could see from different angles

Near the mausoleum and the cathedral we came across a double-spiraled staircase and I said we should go on the other sides so when we walked down we would walk closer to each other and further away from each other. 

 Near by the staircase we saw a giant Peach Stone that marked the Centre of the city. We went to the burggarten, which is close to the oldest gate of the city. 

We went to the top of the Schlossberg Mountain 2 times, once we walked up and down, once up on the Funicular and down in an elevator. At the top of the mountain we saw the clock tower, bell tower, the hackher lion, the Chinese pavilion and the Turkish well that was 94 metres deep! There was a Christmas market at the top and we ate waffles. We also watched the sun go down.

We went in a fairytale cart in a cave that went into the mountain and there was a person talking in the speaker speaking Deutsche and my dad translated it to me in English.


Murinsel it is a shell structure that sits in the middle of the river Mur. We walked across it a couple of times.
