She picked interesting places like Cafe Korb, owned by Susanne Widl, where she made sure we checked out the bathroom doors downstairs. Farmers markets are always interesting to check out in a new city or country and she took us to one where she said all the locals shop and I was shocked how cheap things were there. All the food was good, there was even ice cream swimming in vodka (at 11 in the morning! :-)…”
