Today we took a trip to Salzburg, Austria. The train ride was two hours long. While most of us slept, I couldn’t help but keep my eyes glued to the windows. The scenery was absolutely gorgeous. We got our first glimpse at the alps. The landscape was breathtaking. It was so picturesque, it barely seemed real. Before we knew it, we had arrived at our destination.
We met up with our new tour guide for the day. She took us to the gardens where parts of The Sound of Music were filmed. I was never crazy about this movie when I was younger, but I was familiar with it so it was interesting to see the actual places where it was filmed. The gardens were gorgeous. Although the sky was gloomy and there was a storm raging overhead, it didn’t take away from the natural beauty of Salzburg.
Our tour guide took us to this gorgeous cobblestoned street that housed many shops. It is Sunday, so many of the shops were closed. However, it was such an adorable environment I could not even be mad about nothing being opened. We had a few hours of free time where we roamed the streets and took various pictures. We eventually met up for a group dinner at a very old, yet homey, restaurant.
We gathered onto the train for our two hour adventure back to the hotel. After arrival it did not take long for me to fall fast asleep.
