Salzburg, Austria
Driving through the
mountainous countryside of Austria is a feast for the eyes. I was so excited to
finally be visiting Salzburg, the perfect setting for one of Hollywood’s most successful
films ever. Being a Sound of Music enthusiast, it was a wonderful experience walking through Salzburg
recognising the original spots where scenes in the movie were taken. We stopped off in the market place to
buy a traditional Austrian sausage in a roll for lunch. Delicious!! Salzburg is
also famous as the birthplace of Mozart. He spent many years in this beautiful
city. What a perfect environment to develop the inspiration to compose
brilliant music.
In many ways Salzburg
has clung on to its traditions. You still see many older folk wandering the
streets in traditional garb and have the opportunity to stop and be entertained
by traditional music buskers.
Look familiar??
Such a beautiful couple! Recognise the fountain? Think Von Trapp children and Maria.

Giant pretzels. Yum!!
The graveyard where the Von Trapp family were hiding at the end of The Sound of Music. Remember??? Rolf gave them away to the guards.
