salzburg, austria

"Brown-paper packeages tied up with string... Schnitzel and strudel; these are a few of my favourite things..." add in a beer and Maria would have summed up Austria in a song.




This is Deev and I on the quintessential Salzburg Sounds of Music tour, in front of the glass gazebo famous for 'I am 16 going on 17' song.






The Festung Hohensalzburg is the fortress that sits above the city and was built in 1077...

Great views from the top

And Brad got to play with dolls (marrionette puppet actually)! There was a mini museum in the fort on the art of being the pupetteers and marionette puppets.

Deev in the rain, by a lake... okay so I can't remember where we are exactly. This was on part of the tour outside the city, in the town where the real Mozart's mother grew up... perhaps?!?















The very lovely Mirabell gardens (where in the movie the Von Trapp kids skip through singing Do re me) with the Fort in the background.

All in all, a thumbs up for Salzburg.
