Spectacular Salzburg

The Sound of Music….von Gambell style. After visiting Mozart’s home our first location stop, Mirabelle Gardens. You can’t run through the arbour at the moment but certainly imagine it. Had a woeful go at singing on the steps. Lots of photos. Walked around old town, so quiet. The cemetery was really interesting, very different and ornate headpieces. Walked through the catacombs, nice view of the city rooftops. Checked out all the squares. A beautiful day for a walk. Visited the gazebo…you are 16…and the von trap house from across the lake. Then we took an amazing cable car up the mountain overlooking Salzburg. Snow at the top…usually this time of year the city is covered in snow…a very mild winter at the moment. Spectacular views. Bit slippery on the snow, makes your heart race as there were sheer drops…took it very slow, my boots not made for alpine walking. Had a very enjoyable time at nearly 2,000 feet. Drove to a lake at sunset for more gorgeous views, so still. A magical place.
