Salzburg, Austria

Not really too much to Salzburg, except of course THE SOUND OF MUSIC TOUR!! I have now, re-enacted a few scenes from the movie when visiting some of the places they shot it. And I was not the only one!! There are millions of us flocking to Salzburg just to ride on the very cooly painted bus and hear all about the wonders the is The Sound of Music. I was a little disappointed though as you don’t get to go to the top of the hill and sing the opening line as the mountain is a 3 or 4 hour walk up the mountain to do this and well, they don’t really have time for that! But I do have to say it was a definite highlight. Another highlight whilst on this tour was the Apple Strudel….mmmm delicious!

We also just walked around the Old Town which is super cute, it’s this tiny street and there are just shops everywhere and all them have this great signs hanging from the outside of each shop…very old fashion but adorable! Here in Salzburg we went to the Augustina beer hall and had Pork Knuckle, Potato and beer. Was soooo good! The knuckle we got given was supposed to feed just one person but Liz and I had a hard time finishing it off together!! And all the beer is served straight out of the barrels…was really good….had a few half pints in preparation for Oktoberfest!
