Star Inn Salzburg

... a romantic, picturesque city, and practically everything closes early. I swear, the place seemed to completely shut down at about 5 PM. So we called it an early night, in order to be ready for some sightseeing the next day!<br><br>The next morning, we got up for my first real breakfast and milk since we&#8217;d left Paris (I&#8217;m surprised I wasn&#8217;t suffering withdrawal symptoms or something, though I did ...

... sausages again from the stall that we went to yesterday. Ian had a local speciality called bosna with curry spices on it and I had the same as yesterday. We walked around as it was a couple of hours till the bar opened and until kick off and Ian wanted to find some gardens but they where no where to be seen so we went and sat outide the irish bar waiting for it to open like some alchoholics!<br><br>When the guy opened the bar we ...

... litre of water - interesting huh!?!<br><br>Ps. We almost forgot, we stopped in Austria at a rest-stop, kind of like the equivalent of a fuel stop with ****** food back home, except the food here was awesome! In general, at these food stops, the food has been fascinating, fresh sandwiches, fresh hot food, juices, cakes, a bar, you name it. But this one really was superb. It had a guy making fresh potato pancakes with bacon and eggs and also a waffle bar, with the biggest fresh hot ...

Our first night in Europe was also our first stay in a hostel. For those of you that don't know, a hostel is a dormitory style hotel. We all stayed in the same room in bunk beds. We also shared this room with a gentleman from Switzerland who had just driven 1300 miles from Russia.<br><br>After checking in, we walked around downtown and found an interesting ...

... terms of commercial-immitating-unique feel and priciness.<br>It looks like Ljubljana.<br><br>Recommendation<br>If you're not especially interested in Mozart but want the small town cuteness, go to Ljubljana and pay a fraction of the price (they even have a store dedicated entirely to salt...so it's similar on more than one level). Or go to Vienna and, you know, fall in love with it.<br>

Right now I am in the train to Prague. I got a ticket from Budapest to Prague for 19 euros J unbelievable, right! It is a 7 hours long journey and so I have decided to update my blog. My day in Salzburg. Well it was a horrible day. It had rained the whole night and it was still raining. I got up at 6:00 got ready, packed my luggage, stored it and checked out by 8:00. Then I went to have breakfast, which was included in my hostel stay. On my table sat a guy from Romania who ...

... gloves and good to go. It was a lovely city albeit it rainy and cold when we were there would be very picturesque in the summer as lots of outdoor places to eat and drink. We went and visited the fortress on top of hill in the middle of the city checked out the museum and displays inside before heading off to warm up with beer in the Augustein brewery Great beer hall buy a choice of one beer by the stein or half ...

... s the most well-preserved fortress in Europe. It was very good. There was also a fortress museum and the Salzburg Marionette Museum - that was small, but really enjoyable too. Mozart's Geburtshaus (birthplace) & Wohnhaus (last residence) - only went inside his original birth house. There was some cool stuff, & some interesting rooms that had been redone by an artist. Monchsberg - went up a lift for a beautiful panorama of ...

August 26-Monday<br>We left Kitzbuhel at 8:30. There was a brief stop in Berchtesgarden, in Germany, at 10:00. Up on the side of the mountain, we could see Hitler's Eagle&#8217;s Nest. It was rather chilling to see that part of history. The bunker is now a restaurant. Our rest stop overlooked a valley filled with wonderful homes. What a view! Back on the bus and on to Salzburg. Time 10:35.

... there was no way they were going to do justice to this building. When we were finished at the Cathedral, we took a walk through the shopping district, with its narrow, winding streets. It was such a rush being here. There was so much to see and do, but there just was not enough time for everything. I guess we&#8217;ll just have to come back again and see the sights we missed this time around ...
