Graz, Austria - 16th August 2009

By: marcie08

Hi Mom!

Today we went up on the Schlossberg. That's a hill in the city center of Graz. You can either walk up there or go with an elevaor inside of the hill or go by funicular railway. We've been sporty and walked up there. We had beautiful weather!

You can see me with my toyvoyager-friends in front of the Clock tower, which is the town's landmark! Look at the clock...the hands are quite interesting. The big hand is for the hour, the small for the minutes. Normally it's the other way around. But when the clock tower has been built, people only needed to know the hour. So when later people wanted to know the exact time, they had to ad another hand, but a smaller one!

You can see me looking down to the city center with the town hall (Third picture) and the Kunsthaus. That's the blue bubble (last two pictures) and a museum for contemporary art and photography!

What a beautiful view- don't you think so?
