(travel diary) To Salzburg in Austria

Category: Bavaria, 2006
Started the morning with a nice breakfast at the Fischers. Then, we thanked them and "checked" out. We continued the morning with a couple of hours at the internet café Play Maxx. Price: 3 Euro per hour. It felt good to catch up with the travel diaries. If you like to play pool, they have some tables here.

Then we walked to the train station. From here we took a train to Salzburg via a train change in Munich. Arrived at about 18 in Salzburg. The journey went well (no broken relays ;)).

The tourist info at the train station gave us some info about two nearby hostels. Our choice landed on the one closest to the station: Yoho hostel. After earlier bad experiences with multi bed rooms, we now chosed a double room... a good night of sleep is worth 3 Euro more! 21 Euro did the room cost (excluding breakfast which be bought at the hostel for 1.5 Euro to 2.5 Euro).

Finnished the day with a walk in the neighbourhood.

(travel diary) Mozart and the fort Hohensalzburg

Category: Bavaria, 2006
Started the day with picking up two tickets for the Mozart concert later today. We booked and payed for the tickets a month ago.
The concert is the opening concert for a series of concerts that will be played around the country in this 250 year jubillee of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.

Before the concert, we visited Hohensalzburg, one of Europe's biggest fortresses. It's situated on a little mountain and the city is built around it. The fortress gave us a pretty good view over the city. Tobias and I made a puppet movieNew window at a marionette museum up in the fortress.

We then visited Mozart Wohnhaus which is a house in central Salzburg where Mozart lived a couple of years before he moved to Vienna. Exhibitions may be a bit tiring and... well, this one was no exception. But it was pretty interesting to see and hear a couple of the instruments he had played on.

Then we bought some crisp bread, sliced cheese, yoghurt, Dr Oetcker's Müsli, banana, chocolate and mango juice. Tasty food that keeps the food account on a healthy level :)

We had still two hours before the concert started so we went to see the Haus Der Natur ("house of nature"). Most interesting here were the living reptiles and the grotesque looking fishes.

Afterward followed the concert. It was pretty good. The orchestra consisted of about thirty instrumentalists. I got some "benign shivers" (is that the correct words in english?) when they started to play. If you're going to a Mozart concert only one time in your life then do it in Salzburg :)

Two hours and a schnitzel semmel later = Zzzzzzzzz sleep time.
