When now we are in Salzburg having travelled half way across Austria.
Saw the Stephandom on Tuesday, which was everything it promised. Grand, gathic and glittery. Steeled myself for the view from the Eastern Tower, but if I had know your step out onto an iron grid of a walkway probably would’t have gone. Still managed some good shots before my nerves failed me.
Wednesday saw us in Halstatt of archeaological fame as a salt mine for three thousand years. Beautiful high glacial lake sourrounded by massive mountains from 2 to 3 kilometres high. Amazing.
We did a tour of the salt mines which was impressive and the kids loved the wooden slides used for fun now but a short cut for miners between levels.
Pottered around on the lake in electric boats and rambled up narrow streets squeezed between houses that seemed to be glued flat to the cliff sides.
I have a zillion photos but never time to upload.
We are now in Salzburg enjoying a little quite time in a pleasant 4 star hotel just below the castle. Quite pleasant. Maybe I’ll get some time to upload photos (and edit) these posts.
Then again?
(BTW first day of real rain so far)
