Salzburg
Am here in Salzburg now where the hills are alive with the sound of music… 
It’s a very pretty little town… I love it here. Absolutely gorgeous. And there are so much to do! I’ve got 4 nights here and I won’t even make it to Hallstatt, I don’t think.
You know how I said Prague’s old town is a bit like Disneyland. Well, Salzburg is a lot like that too, with Western European standard cleanliness. Walked to town to grab some dinner last night and it was just charming with all the lights and everything.
Went to do some sightseeing today.. Walked around the old town and up to the fortress. Gorgeous view from the top, but man everything is expensive here. €9.6 to catch the funicular up. Had lunch at this Chinese buffet place - not bad, €6.9 for all you can eat. They didn’t have that many varieties but it’s reasonably cheap compared to other places. But I miss Eastern Europe!
Caught a bus to Hellbrunn Castle. I found myself humming the tune of 16 going on 17 as I strolled down the park there. Ha. Couldn’t help it. Did a guided tour of the "Trick Fountains" park, which was pretty cool. I got wet though. Damnit. Oh well, it was fun.
Met up with Stevo this arvo. He’d just arrived today. We had dinner at the hostel and booked for our Sound of Music and Saltmine tour tomorrow. It’s gonna be a full day!
Am planning to go do the ice cave tour the day after. Apparently it’s the world’s largest ice cave so it should be interesting. And because that means I won’t get to go to Hallstatt, I decided to do the saltmine tour here. Same thing.
Might be meeting my two Irish roommates at the Irish pub in the old town tonight around 11. If I’m not tired, that is. We’ll see.
Anyway, I’m off. Must reply some emails etc.
