    • Day 13

      Salzburg

      August 30, 2022 in Austria ⋅ ☀️ 25 °C

      Der Plan heute - abhängen, Sightseeing und es uns in Salzburg gutgehen lassen.

      Die Fahrt Richtung Salzburg war problemlos - wir hatten sogar noch Zeit für einen Abstecher ins Porschemuseum in Gmünd (http://www.auto-museum.at) lohnt sich definitiv. Ich hatte ein langes Gespräch mit der Witwe des Gründers. Alle Exponate bis auf 2 Prototypen und 1 GT3 sind im Besitz der Familie Pfeifhofer. Da stehen ein paar wirklich seltene Autos und Motoren im Wert von mehreren Millionen herum. - ein Besuch lohnt sich!

      Entspannt gegen 14.00 Uhr in Salzburg angekommen, kleiner Rundgang durch die Stadt und gleich ein paar Souvenirs für die Frau daheim besorgt

      Heute nochmal mit Punkten was nobles gebucht - wir zahlen insgesamt 75,- € für parken und Frühstück im Sheraton Grand - Schnäppchen!.

      Heute Abend gehts nochmal typisch österreichisch Essen und morgen dann die Zieleinfahrt der Rally…..stay tuned!

    • Day 58

      Salzburg, Austria

      October 2, 2023 in Austria ⋅ ☀️ 75 °F

      What we did:
      - Woke up at 6 to catch our train at the same time as the crew headed to their flight…. We decided to just say goodbye and go back to bed until 10. What’s vacation for if you don’t get to do what you want?!
      - Caught the 10-12pm train. Left our luggage at the train station locker and then set out to tour the city. We grabbed Viennese lunch at a super cool hillside biergarten overlooking the city and knocked back some Austrian Stiegl beers to cut the post-Oktoberfest malaise
      - We toured the hilltop Salzburg Palace, enjoying the expansive views of the city, river and surrounding mountains. So cool to see a city closely nestled into the mountains and farm country.
      - Wandered around the city some more, with Steph popping in to Foot Locker get some fresh new kicks! Oktoberfest wreaked havoc on the old ones. Got some icy all-white On Clouds to look like a true European🔥🔥🔥
      - Checked into our BnB and then headed out to a delicious Vietnamese restaurant! Great palate cleanser after all the German/Austrian food. On the way, we walked through the beautiful Mirabell gardens with cool views of the palace! Loved the riverfront walk as well.
      - To make Doug proud we capped the night by watching Sound of Music! (Dougs favorite movie). The opening credits were essentially a Salzburg highlight tape so fun to see all the places we hit that day! Only got a 1/3rd through before sleep took us in.

      What we ate:
      - Munich Train station croissants and coffee
      - Lunch at Restaurant Stiegl-Keller. Trent got official Viennese Schnitzel, Steph got beer cheese soup and we split a potato salad. Great vibes!
      - We both got absolutely delicious (and spicy) pho and split spring rolls and spicy noodles for dinner at “Uncle Van Steingasse”. Very traditional despite the name.

      Fun facts:
      - Sunday night in Munich Trent was in the bar bathroom when 6 absolutely hammered douchebag Americans in their late 30’s/early 40’s came in. One of them proceeded to break the porcelain toilet in half… an absolute feat. Anyway we ended up in the same train car as the douchebags to Salzburg. They started making fun of an old German man who couldn't lift his suitcase and then got in a fight with another, before harassing the train ticket lady to give them 1st class tickets so they could drink beers. We then stumbled into them again at our quaint Salzburg lunch. They were causing a ruckus again, screaming, and chugging beers. Why do our countrymates insist on hitting our stereotypes so hard?
      - Uncle Doc told us that Salzburg was his favorite city he went to in Europe
      - Trent claims he had never seen Sound of Music before. Parents confirmed that it turns out he has multiple times, but was just a punk teenager and sat on his phone the whole time. Kid had a street cred to live up to and couldn’t be caught dead watching a musical…. such a brat.
      - The Salzburg palace is nicknamed “unconquerable”. Not surprising as both Steph and Trent were huffing and puffing after the walk up to the palace perched on the hill.

    • Day 11

      St. Andräkirche, Salzburg

      April 4, 2023 in Austria ⋅ ☁️ 2 °C

      While waiting for our afternoon tour to start we came across another church, yes another one. And of course we popped our heads in to have a look. This is the Roman Catholic Andrakirche, a large city parish church in the Newstart district of Salzburg. Built from 1892 to 1898, it was severely hit by aerial bombs in 1945. During restoration between 1969 to 1972 the stained glass windows and alter created by Karl Weiser were added and these are what really set this church apart from the others we have seen in town. The stained glass windows look quite modern with their different hues of brighter colours. It is a simple but pretty church. I do love how different they all are.Read more
