Adventure in Salzburg

After a 2 hour drive from the ship, we arrived in Salzburg. Our guide Hans was fabulous on our walking tour of the city. We passed the home where Mozart grew up and then we passed the home where he was born, and then we ventured into the Christmas market area, where we also saw the church where Mozart played. Sound of Music locations were noted along the way and our group even sang a song from the movie.

Indulging in all of the traditional Austrian treats during our six hours in Salzburg, we devoured apple strudel and coffee at a traditional coffee house, and we had hotdogs with sauerkraut at the Christmas market. We purchased gingerbread and other treats and even ventured into a grocery store. I have never seen a larger selection of hotdog and sausages in my entire life. We even had time to spend a quiet 30 minutes in the where Mozart played as a young man.Read more
