Today was Kerry’s big day of the trip – the Sound of Music movie locations tour.
As well as that, we toured many if the pretty places in Salzburg and surrounding countryside, visiting some of the places where major scenes had been filmed.
Salzburg is only 150,000 people and heavily tourism based. It’s the birthplace of Mozart, and is an old city ruled for many centuries by the archbishops from the catholic church from Rome. Austria itself used to be part of Hungary and has a large border with Slovenia.
There are 41 churches and one big fort to protect the souls spiritually and physically. After our tour we took a little trolley train up to the top of the hill, and walked down. We couldn’t have made it the other way around!
And here is THE gazebo!
Interesting shoes from someone with a strong American accent.
This is the church from the movie where Maria got married, and surrounding area. Nice apple strudel at the cafe!
Do ray me site. Great gardens in the middle of the city.
Many ways to travel, we’ve seen five jet streams at once in the sky, and this bike?????
Little Mozart was born here. We had a great time exploring the little alleys, full of traders, both high end fashion, and food markets.
The big old fort, from around 1400’s
And walking back into town to find other little SOM gems.
And that folks, is a day in Salzburg.
Munich tomorrow.
