Our last day in Salzburg was spent packing, doing a bit more shopping, doing a bit more eating and enjoying a horse and carriage ride! I was really sad to be leaving Salzburg, and hope to be back soon, perhaps in a summer with Mark? I took my top back to Schops and changed it, but got side tracked…

I can't really say enough about how lovely Salzburg is... it's the kind of European destination you picture in your head when you think of the quaint, picturesque representations you may have seen on biscuit tins when you were young. Having been to Vienna, I had no idea that Salzburg would be so di…

  With a sweeping aerial view, the film opens with a left-to-right camera pan through the clouds and across rocky, snow-covered mountains. The camera dips into a green, wooded valley with steep cliffs that descend into a snow-fed lake. Reflections of the hills are viewed in the mirro…

On Thursday, we took a two hour train ride to Salzburg, where we took a Sound of Music Tour. Almost everything in Salzburg was closed due to a holiday. One of the locals told me that it was best described in English as All Saints day. So we booked the tour and walked around a li…

Well what can I say about this beautiful, peaceful place. Full of character and history.I've been to Salzburg twice in the past 3 years and have enjoyed every moment being there. The people are very friendly, the atmosphere is calm and people enjoy life rather than working 9-5! Plenty of history to…
