    It was a tough travel day today - we struggled, a lot. Our tickets were in German, struggled translating them, no one in Venice could help us read them … turned out what I thought was a 7 hr train trip, was really a 3.5 hr bus and then a 3.5 hr train. Figured that out as we were sitting at the train station. Long story short … we made it, but not without some tears and fears. But I’ll say, boy was it worth all the hassles!! The train trip, once we got on it, was MAGNIFICENT, and it’s not even the scenic trip I paid for yet. It was just a normal trip. I haven’t seen much of Salzburg yet as we got in after 7:00pm, but what we have seen is amazing. Beautiful, quiet, peaceful, awesome!

    As a side note … was it just me who had no idea Austria’s official language is German?!? I learned a lot about their history today as we traveled — especially as it relates to Germany — Sound of Music makes sooo much more sense now.
