The Hills are Alive..with the Sound of Music
Very touristic of us I know...but yes..mom and I did go on the Sound of Music tour in the lovely lil city of Salzburg. We stayed for 3 nights in a cute lil B&B that overlooked the city. The overlook the city part was nice - the hike to get up to the place to enjoy it. We just used the hike as an excuse to eat more apfel strudle. The SOM tour was quite pricey, but honestly worth every penny. We made several stops and got to see alot of places the movie was filmed. The 1st pic shows one of the houses where the movie was filmed, and the lake scene was shot here too. The 2nd pic is in Monsee, a lil town right outside of Salzburg, at a beautiful lake. The 3rd pic is at the top of the highest mountain in the area. Mom and I rode the cable car up. Really lovely scenery. The last pic is of us at a cafe in Vienna. One cool thing about Salzburg is all of their christmas stores that are open year round. Pretty sure they contain more ornaments than Ive ever seen in my entire life. Im not sure anyone should ever go to Salzburg without buying at least one of them. Also in Salzburg we got to see the fortress on the top of the hill, and the haus of Mozart. He was pretty good at what he did..so this was neat. We even got to see his first violin...not sure why..but this was really cool to me. Maybe bc Ive always wanted to be able to play that thing.
