The train trip was great, extremely beautiful and we entertained ourselves by playing
the “beef patty game.”
We arrived to Salzburg late to find the city caught in a downpour. We were extremely
dehydrated so immediately got water and food at the train station. I had a kebab,
since Burger King’s grill was down and I couldn’t get a Whopper.
After inhaling our food, we got a cab to the old town, which is where our hotel
was located. We arrived late and the reception had closed, but left us a note and
the keys to our rooms on the front desk.
Brent and I discussed our street performance more and he met “Blue,” his blanket,
who was called blue because he was sad, not because of his color... don't ask.

After breakfast we headed out to wander around Salzburg, then up to the castle,
which had great views and a slightly-frightening puppet museum.
For lunch I grabbed an apple strudel and then we headed out on the Sound of Music
Tour.
Once back in Salzburg, we stopped at Mirabellgarten, St. Peterkirche, and the catacombs,
which were unfortunately already closed.
We ate at the restaurant next door to our hotel for dinner, the schwein snitzel
was good, as was the ravioli and French fries, which seemed like odd offering in
Salzburg. Our waiter was great and we made it an early night after watching some
German television.
