Salzburg

After our morning wander we headed on to Salzburg for some Krampus fun! The forecast showed it was supposed to rain all day and this morning on the radar was just tons of rain so I was like we will see what it’s like when we get there…if it is too wet we don’t have to do much. And we got there and no rain! It was perfect!

We wandered around the Christmas markets and saw Santa and a couple different Krampusse with him, but online it said there would be a parade at 4:30 so that was what we were waiting for…only at 4:30 there was just the one with Santa! I did notice they all had two balls on their booties that had jingle bells in which was fun. They would jump around and wiggle their booties and make the bells jingle. I never saw/heard of that before for Krampus! I wonder if the ones tomorrow will have them too!

We wandered around town and had some apple pear kinderpunsch and had a good time. When we started back towards the car we went by the one Christmas market again and there was a sign up then saying the Krampus parade was at 6…and it was 5 and cold and starting to rain so we decided to head on as we still had about an hour drive into the mountains and we weren’t sure what the drive would be like…it was already after dark the temp was going down and we were going up into the mountains... Well I am glad we did! On the way here it started to rain and snow mix and was getting foggy and slippery already. Then here in Bad Goisern where we are staying it started to snow so much! I looked outside about when we would have arrived and so much snow! All the cars are going so slowly up and down the hill to get into town and I am glad we were not trying to get here then! It’s still snowing now which is great! Tomorrow I have some small mountain towns to spy on as long as it is not too cold/snowy/icy to drive! Then a big Krampus parade in town which I am super excited about!! Should be a lot of fun!Weiterlesen
