Salzburg

Consulting our maps and GPS and a good weather report we struck for Salzburg. We should note that the city is famous for rain
and the last few times we visited it was raining. We arrived about two hours later and consulted a tourist information center on Mozart Square to find us a reasonable Inn…..not a small task as the Salzburg music festival was in full swing.
We found a place close to the inner city and checked in.


That evening we walked and took ride in a Fiaka (carriage) to old city. We mingled with the, T shirt and shorts, tourist crowd on one hand and the, dressed to hilt, festival crowd.
















The next day we visited Hellbrunn Castle with its (trick) water gardens…and yes we got wet.











Then we walked the Mirabelle gardens, had coffee and cake at a small sidewalk café and ended up at the Augustine Brewery and beer garden for an afternoon refreshment an meal.

















Later we chose the autobahn for a quick trip back to Vienna.
