Mondsee - wet day no play
October 9, 2017 in Austria ⋅ 🌧 9 °C
It was raining and cold today, so we had a bit of an indoor day at home. We did head off to the supermarket to stock up on dinner supplies, tried very hard to find a cafe which was open for lunch (admittedly it was 2pm, but it was a Monday and Google Maps said places were open every day!). In the end, we failed trying to find a local business and finally had to resort to eating at Maccas.

That said, it was the nicest McDonald's hamburger we have ever had, so wasn't all bad.

The church which featured the wedding of Maria and Captain von Trapp in the Sound of Music is in Mondsee, and we did drive right past it, but none of my family were overly keen to visit it with me. Sigh...Read more
Traveler You should have told them that church was a few of your favourite things.....

Traveler Never fear - I fully intend acting out various iconic scenes from the movie tomorrow including the arms outstretched on a green patch of grass overlooking some snow covered alps with pine trees in the foreground (which I read today was actually filmed in Germany - shocking!). Kate and I nearly won the battle to watch the movie tonight, but Wonder Woman got the unanimous vote as something everything in the family wanted to see. Surely it is not possible to see The Sound of Music too many times!!! And if you can't watch it in the Salzkammergut area where it is based, where can you bloody well watch it, I ask?
