Austria - Salzburg sound of music

Salzburg may be small but it packs a lot! First it was the home of Mozart and his family.

There is a tour of his home of course no photos allowed inside the home however at the end they had this little 'how do you stand up to Mozart' begin me is our guide and friend Chelsea!

And one of those put your face here things. Here is Mozart's sister Nannerl. She had the mist lovely countenance ;).

This area is also where much of the Sound of Music was filmed. If you are a fan of the film or never seen it before our hostel shows I every evening! Bastian had not seen it yet so we had dinner and watched the film. Then the next day wandered around Salzburg pointing out sites.

You can take a sound of music tour however we have a friend studying local and wanted to hang out with her. I believe we got a much better tour!

Originally Salzburg was an Archbishopric. He had this huge horse stable (100 horses). He would run the through this shallow pool to wash them.

We visited St Peter's cathedral to look up at the domes. In the other photos it is the greenish dome things.

Of course there was Beer. We partook in the Augustiner beer hall. You drink from these heavy beer mugs. You grab your mug and then rinse it out before taking it to get filled.

Then of course you drink until satiated!

Tho was the first time we found radish as a side dish. They shaved and salted a big radish the display was very pretty!

Even the night view is picturesque!

Austria is over our last stop is Zurich, Switzerland!
