Wow what to say about Salzburg... it has been everything I had hoped it would be and more. From the snow, to the carriage ride this afternoon it could not have been better.
One of the best things are the the people we have met... they include a couple from Mackay in Qld on the sound of music tour, it was nice to take photos for each other. Bill actually took that lovely photo of us at the gazebo - that is my favourite photo so far. We have spoken to and been helped by many people as we made our way around the city. A lovely 72 year old locsal lady with impressive English helped us at the bus stop yesterday and told us how she came to speak such wonderful English due to the American army taken over her family home when she was 7, and she learnt the language and continued with it. On the salt mines tour we met a family from Quatar and the 2 little girls and I sang all the songs that I sing at school on the way back to Salzburg! They were delightful. Yesterday we met a family from Barcelona and followed each other around for a lot of the day. Ralf (getting in practice for the Pope) asked if they would like to meet up for dinner... so we did. We again had italian (I am sure we will have Austrian in Roma) and a lovely night was have, they have emailed us a photo from last night and when we can work out how to do it will post it. So there you have it... the people are what are making an impact on me, what a bonus of travel.
Ok the carriage ride today was the icing on the cake, we went for a whole hour and saw things we hadn't seen before.
Anyway keep the posts coming it means so much to us... we love hearing from you all.
