I'm on a Train
... The train itself, on the other hand, had a few problems. Actually, the first three trains connecting from Switzerland through to Salzburg, Austria were fine. I went in second class, but with a reserved seat for just $5 more per train. The ticket agent ...

A Few of My Favorite Things
While humming, whistling or singing Sound of Music tunes, we have made our way around Salzburg, home of the movie and of Mozart. We have relaxed in the beautiful Schloss Mirabel gardens (Where Maria and the children dance about), have seen the gazebo and ...

Salzburg

Hyvällä tuulella
Ja kyllä vain... sillä tultiin ja mentiin! Tässä se on nyt sitten vihoviimeinen laskupäivä takana. Lunta satoi ja tuuli tuiversi ihan niin maan perkeleesti! JARMO: "Niin että, öö... lumilauta pysyi tuulessa Jarmon mahassa... kiinni... ...
Some more liters
Gotta love a city named after salt. We didn't have too much time here but what we did have was mostly spent wondering around the fortress and the cute little town. Man they love Mozart here I guess because he was born here, but from what I ...

... 4 to 1 but it was a harsh game. Tons of fun! Hot tea with rum and pretzels make a great dinner. 21 October: Leaving Salzburg... We apparently left town on the wrong road and wound up on a completely different hill than we meant to, finding a completely ...
I'm too lazy to write
Yes, as you can tell by my last few entries, I'm not in a writing mood at the moment. However, it's neccessary so that you all know that I am alive. Just briefly, Zell Am See was great. I stayed in a hotel because the town doesn't have hostels. It was ...
Innsbruck - Salzburg

Salt Town

Siinä teille hypyn mallia
Tervetuloa, ja turpa kiinni! Tänään oli taas ihan ennusteiden mukaisesti mahtava laskupäivä, hyvää työtä. Ikkunasta vähän ihmeteltiin ulkona lipuvia pilvilampaita, mutta kuten fotosta näkyy, ne hengasivat vaan laaksojen pohjalla, ja ...

...with the Sound of Music
Our second day in Salzburg, we woke up, had breakfast at the B&B and were picked up for the Sound of Music tour. The tour was more fun than I thought it would be. They played the soundtrack on the bus, when they weren't giving commentary. We saw Nonnberg ...
Vom Gerlospass zum Glockner 94Km / 1300 Hm
Jetzt fängt´s an Bei meinem heutigen Telefonat habe ich gehofft, dass ich niemanden aufwecke. 21:15, das könnte schon ein wenig spät sein, habe ich mir gedacht. Und wirklich habe ich Michael mit dem Anruf spürbar gestört, geweckt??? Er hat aber ...
City of Mozart, Sound of Music,archbishops, & more
So much to do in this city. We chose to get an hour introduction to the city tour from panorama tours. The best decision we ever made. The guide Haans did a fantastic job taking us around the city. He helped us decide our ...
Land of Mozart and Fraulein Maria

An afternoon in Salzburg
We arrived in Austria to sky-darkening clouds and the beginning of rain. Barely over the border and the architecture is suddenly different again - including a sudden penchant for horse fountains. Trying to escape the miserable grey weather we sheltered ...
