Aida

One of the many "Aida"s in town
You can tell from the weather what day this picture was taken. Hint! It rained tremendously the first morning day. Remember I was forced to buy an umbrella? I took this picture BEFORE I read about Aida in the brochure I found at the hotel where I stayed. It listed Aida as a place you would want to have coffee and cake at. Fancy that...my camera knew this was an important place before I did:)
THIS was on the list of things to eat at Aida
The brochure said we were to sit at Aida and have Sachertorte. This I did. I'm very obedient when it comes to comfort things really. Programmed that way I guess. This cake came with cream. No picture I do not want you to see the size of THAT dollop of cream I slurped through. Lovely! I want it again. But since I don't bake I'll have to hunt around the shopping centres and hope I find something close.
Coffee comes with a glass of water always. Why?
 Coffee was just the thing I needed having had a bad night's sleep due to a stuffed nose. The glass of water was presumably to wash down the caffeine? I'm not sure the timing of drinking the water...was it before, mid-way or after coffee.

2.90 (was it in Euro?) is quite cheap for a slice of cake, I reckon.

I thought water is to rehydrate ourselves. Or perhaps to wash down the coffee so that people don't walk around in coffee breath. Very thoughtful cafe service :-) (I like).

yes twas in Euro. I agree. Reasonably priced. Maybe because we are used to paying overpriced cakes which taste mediocre:)
