Anyone done The Ghan?

A lot of historical options with that one, castles and galleries and museums. Ali scared her husband silly with one stop, she found out on their last day at Vienna that the Willendorf Venus was in the Museum there and decided to leave the river boat and go to see it after timing it out with one of the staff. Her husband was one of those averse to risk types and not in favour, but off she went, two buses and a fast walk to get there, and then she found she had timed it perfectly near closing and was the only one in the room where they house the Venus. She had ten minutes with the statue and found being in her presence quite other worldly. Then she did the return trip to get back to the boat with just minutes to spare and her husband pacing up and down the wharf, getting more and more furious. But she said it was the most precious of gifts, and a highlight of the trip.

So if you get to Vienna and see the Venus I'll be interested to see if she has the same effect on your soul. It seems she has something very special about her.

Mind you, so did my friend Ali. Maybe the two had a lot in common.
