Salzberg with some sunlight!

McSalzburg signage

Frou-frou shopping

The streets of the old town were lined with boutiques, and designer
shops. Cute area, but I think I finally maxed out on window shopping.
Such a classic town has turned into a stomping ground to see and be
seen with the right merchandise. After 4 hours in town, we were ready
to continue on with our adventure, and drive deeper into the mountains.

The operahouse

A mix of old and new

The skies opened up, and we once again had some blue skies!

A good hearty lunch did us well

Jana had some amazing pumpkin soup, and I had the local goulash...
Followed by some yummy roasted pork and beef, slathered in gravy. We
completely studfedxpursrlves on local fares.... Then went back outside
to explore some more.

Mozart's birthplace

First point of interest we found was the museum dedicated to Mozart in
the house he was born in.

The need for food won out, and we decided to return after lunch to
check it out. We did return, but didn't end up doing the tour after all.

Girls on tour... Once again!

And we made it to Salzburg, in time for lunch

Old town Salzburg is a cute little town set into the rocky hillsides
of the alp foothills. We proceeded to act our best tourist, wander
around town.

The foothills of the alps

As we appeoached the Austrian border, the subtle rolling hills of
Germany rose up into the towering foothills of the alps. As soon as I
saw the mountains rising, I was so glad we planned the trip! I do love
mountains. :)
