Salzburg was awesome. There is just something about Switzerland and Austria that draws me to them. All they appear to eat over there are pretzels. That would almost definitely make my dad happy.
Salzburg was just exhausting though. We walked probably seven miles with packs, and the packs were certainly not light. It was definitely worth it though. The remaining pictures from our trip are uploading now (slowly but surely).
The first thing we did was walk through town. The town is actually pretty tiny. After walking through town, we hiked up to the castle which overlooks the town. The views from the overlooks were incredible, though the walk up was tiring! After the castle, we walked all over the ridge through town, saw several churches, and hiked out to a lake near town to see the Sound of Music House. Following our triumphant return into town, we were both thoroughly exhausted.
Actually, the best part of Salzburg was this incredibly cool biergarten. The food there was amazing. It was set up as kind of a market — you went to individual vendors and got what you wanted. You then brought your tray outside to this shaded grove, and got yourself a monastic beer! This place had the best beer I have ever had. It was just unbelievable, and made by monks! After the meal, we hopped back on a train to Vienna, then back to Budapest.
