The Maze
The maze at Schönbrunn was originally made in 1698. It was a fun time for the royal family and their buddies. I guess it got dull, because they kept cutting parts out and finally cut the whole thing down in 1892. But, never fear, historians! They regrew the maze in 1998, modeled after historical documents of what the maze looked like. It’s 18,640 square feet of fun!
We went to a maze in England at some palace, and we figured it out pretty easily. This one had us turning in circles for a long time.
The goal was to get to a center viewing platform. The kids beat me to it and took pity on me and gave me directions to join them.
It was a pretty maze on a pretty day!
James opted out of the maze to rest his feet and to take advantage of the free wireless. If you ask Michael what the best part of the day was, I don’t think he’ll say the maze or the palace or the zoo. It was excellent, free wireless!
