SALZBURG

Day two in Salzburg started our a little rainy but we were very excited when it stopped in time for our Sound of Music Bike tour. The tour last about 3 1/2 hours. We took it more for the bike tour part rather than the Sound of Music part..and it was a great tour. We did see quite a few scenes from the movie. The front of the house and back of the house( two different houses) The gazebo and various other sights in the city that appeared in the move. We stopped at the gazebo which had been moved from the house due to tourist interest and it started to rain pretty heavy. Most other were prepared with ponchos or jackets. We were not. When the rain finally slowed down we hit the road for the last leg of the tour back to our starting point.It was a constant drizzle but not too bad. I defiantly think a bike tour is the best way to see any city rather than sitting on a bus..

After the tour we walked around for a bit in the old city stopped for lunch...learning again to watch what you order. I ordered sausages..with something??? It was only 4.80E so I did not expect much. It was pretty much two hot dogs..ok a little better than hot dogs..but not much

Tonight we went to a very nice Mozart Dinner show. There were performances between each course in and Old Baroque ballroom. The restaurant where it was held is said to be the oldest restaurant in Europe opened in 863! The show was very nice and dinner was good...not great but good..We sat with nice couple from England celebrating their 13th anniversary. It was nice to be able to finally meet people we would talk to. Wayne is usually always starting conversations at bars but it had been kind of hard when no one speaks the same language.

I think this may be my last post before my data plan runs out. Tomorrow we are off to Rothenberg Ob Der Tauber and doing the night watchman tour then one night in Rudeshiem which is a small wine town. We are already crossing our fingers for a business class upgrade on the way home.

Goodnight!
