Reporting from Salzburg



Ahh what can one say about Salzburg. Suffice to say it's like a little fairyland full of incredible beauty and smug people.


Seriously though what's up with Austrians they are so smug and sarcastic. Good thing the scenery is worth the visit. Photos cannot to it justice but here are a few typical shots.

Famously, Salzburg is known as the birth place of Mozart, the home of the Trapp family singers (think Sound of Music), and sits and the base of the alps. This is a must see, and I wish we had more time to just wonder about the city. We did manage to fit in a delicious mug of the best mulled wine I've had to date, a tasty dinner up at the fortress followed by a quartet concert of Mozart, Hayden, and Dvorak. Tomorrow we are off on a whirlwind tour of a salt mine and a peek of the Eagle's Nest.

Mozart is a big deal, here's a monument to him with a bunch of tourists.
