Salzburg
The birthplace of Mozart and the location of 'The Sound of Music'... the main tourist drawcards of Salzburg and they don't let you forget it.
Once you get past all the tourist crap, Salzburg is a very picturesque city. The view from the fortress is un disturbed to the Alps, and when we were up there the skies were blue and clear.
The city is full of little streets, cafes and lots of churches. At midday all the bells went off at once which was a bit loud, but still nice.
Had authentic Austrian food tonight at the Wilder Mann - Salzburg Schnizel and Beef Goulash, washed down with a half litre of Wiezerbier.
On the subject of beer, it is very cheap and available in Europe. Evenwhere sells it in half litre bottles or glasses and it tastes great. Even supermarkets sell crates of it, and you get money back when you bring back the empties.
We head back to Germany tomorrow, 3 nights in Munich before tackling Italy head on.
