Excited after the visit to Natural Science Museum and before entering Kunst Historische Museum.
An iron elephant is the sign of a meet place at museums in Vienna. This elephant is in front of Natural Science Museum.
Little children were drawing while sitting on the floor of the museum.
I saw kiwis for the first time in my life.
Read about the house fly.
A huge fly was on display is a window.
These are the beautiful marble floor of Natural Science Museum.
In the lobby we were welcomed by a few giant turtles. We posed for pictures with them.

Proud to be Bulgarian!
The vending machine in the restroom was mounted on the wall.
We experienced twice a new type of restroom at the gas stations - you buy an admission ticket for 50 cents and next you can use it as a vouchet in the shop. The directions for use were in all official languages of the EU, including Bulgarian.
This cow at a gas station somewhere either in Serbia or in Hungary reminded me of the first art cow parade back in Europe in the late 1990s and its first American version in 1999 in Chicago that I saw and enjoyed. This cow is featuring a message, too.
Our beautiful, comfortable and COLD bus at an OMV gas station in Serbia.
Watching a movie was one way of entertainment on the bus.
We were cold most of the time due to a leakage in the bus heating system and asleep for some time.
Some parents donated soft drinks to the group and we appreciated that.
Boarding time for the group of 31 students and 3 teachers, 1 tourist guide and 2 drivers ended at 5 a.m. sharp when we departed from Alexander Nevsky Square.
Luggage was loaded in the trunk of the orange and green coach before 5 a.m. on April 6, 2010.
