Salzburg




We only have a short time in Salzburg before heading off to Italy via Innsbruck, so have a hurried campsite cooked breakfast (our first) and head off to make the most of our time in the town.


I learned a new thing - Mozart was born here and the house he was born in is now a fairly smart bar. Richie was still off the beer, so only orange juice for him.


The town is very pretty and overlooked by an ancient castle built up on the hill. A short trip on the funicular railway and we too are overlooking Salzburg. The view was fantastic, but not nearly as good as from the top of the nearby mountain.


We took the cable car from outside Salzburg up to the top of the Untenburg, well not quite the summit, but still 1800m high and wandered around in the sunshine and deep snow. We couldn't resist the temptation to throw around a few snowballs.....
