Salzburg

We lucked out on our hotel and ended up with a very cool apartment on the top floor at Das Grune. It was about 20 min walk to the platz. We first went to Mirabelle gardens where they filmed the Do-Re-Mi scene for the Sound of Music. Inside the palace it is decorated extravagantly with many marble statues on a staircase, and a very nice music room with gold embellishments on the ceiling and walls. We found the Pegasus fountain outside Mirabelle gardens. Next we went to St. Andra church. We then went to Kapuziner Koster, which was on top of a hill and started by a monk monastery. Quite a climb. Next we went to Saint Sebastian Church which was also impressive. We had a good lunch at Alter Fuchs which means old fox. Greg had the farmer's soup and Kristy had cordon bleu...both very good.. after lunch we went to St. Johannes Church and the Residence Platz where there is a very large impressive fountain We then went into the Dom Salzburg Church. You have to pay €5 to get in, but it's worth every cent. It is a baroque architecture. Highly decorated and impressive church. Next to it is the Franciscan church that was started around 1100 AD. We then walked back to our hotel room. Greg walked across the street and got a couple of pizzas at a place called Pizza Joy. Lol...It was joyful for the owner because they gave us a tablespoon of tomato sauce and three shreds of cheese. It's true. It was a good day. Tired feet. Slept well!Read more
