Day 3: Graz to Padova

Today, I climbed Graz' castle hill to the famous clock tower. Alice climbed most of the way, then waited in the shade on a park bench. Next, we went to the Piber Stud Farm, outside Graz, where they breed the famous Lipizzaner horses. Alice is missing her horses, but this helped. I had my last schnizel for the trip at the Piber Cafe. (Austrian schnizel is just as good as German schnizel.) Then, we drove to Padova, Italy and are staying at Ibis again.
