I am really debating with myself whether I like Salzburg the best because of Salzburg or because I have more time to take it all in and really enjoy Salzburg. Either way, I am really enjoying Salzburg. I have been lucky with weather the entire trip, although it was overcast and cloudy today, it didn’t rain.
This morning started with me just walking around. I stumbled on to Mozarts Geburtshaus (Mozart’s Birthplace) where Mozart spent the first 17 years of his life. There is also a Mozart Residence where he lived later on in life but I haven’t found it yet.
In just about every gift shop, there is something Mozart and/or something Sound of Music. Mozart Chocolates, and Mozart Fragrance (for men and women) sit in between displays of yodeling teddy bears, Bavarian style of hats, mustards and cuckoo clocks .
Having had Bavarian food for the last few days, I decided to have lunch at a McCafe when I saw the gold arches tucked into a classic sign.Surprisingly, the menu is very different, no Big Mac, no Quarter Pounder and in addition to indoor seating, they had “Garden” seating – an outside courtyard where they sold the local beer called Steigl.
I headed back to the other side of the river to get my afternoon tour that I booked, “Austrian Lakes and Mountains” where we would see Lake Fuschl – St.Wolfgang – St. Gilgen – Krottensee – Mondsee.
