Salzburg and the Sound of Music Tour





Yesterday we got up at 4:00 am, and took the train to Salzburg. It was a beautiful day after some early morning showers, and I actually got a little sunburned!

Salzburg is great - and one day there is definitely not enough time. Especially when the SOM tour took 5 hours. We almost missed it, because it was a 30 minute walk from the Hauptbahnhof (train station) to the pick up place. We walked by it, then found it, then had to go get cash. She was ready to pull away as we were racing up.

But we made it - there we are next to the gazebo!

The tour itself was good - a little cheesy, but lots of information on the movie and the real Von Trapp family. The alpine villages we stopped at were simply beautiful. Chris is sleeping so I can't remember any of the names of the villages...

It was a good day, but hot and tiring. We got home, ate at Ayinger off the Marienplatz, and then came back to the apartment to pack, get organized, and pass out!

We are checking out today, heading to the Ayinger brewery for a tour, hanging in Munich, then off to Paris on the night train. And it better be right this time or I will really be pissed.
