Salzburg part 1

Well, them up early today as they are goin into town, or Salzburg to you un me. He's happy as Larry as thems goin by bus, luckily bus stop is right outside the site,

They notice the pedestrian bridge, spanning the River Salzach, which runs through the centre of the town and its decoration. It looks like copper leaves from a distance, but on closer inspection, it's actually padlocks clipped to the bridge with names on. The river is also where you can find the amphibious taxi, hope you're not in a hurry through, it really struggles against the strong flow.

On arriving at the old part of town, they wander up the pedestrianised streets full of shops, all beautifully presented and some bearing very ornate wrought-iron signage. A wide variety of shops from clothes shops selling up to date fashion and also some selling traditional clothes, which were not cheap, one outfit was over €1600, to chocolate shops, cheese shops and a variety of eating places.

Them's on route to the castle when he has to do his good deed for the day. A little old lady with walking stick is trying to cross at the pedestrian crossing but is dithering, so Super Mart crosses over to help her across, she does thank him, we think, as couldn't understand a word she said.

On to the big square surrounded by huge ornate buildings. We take the funicular railway up to the castle for stunning views an a bite to eat.Read more
