Salzburg Part 1

Just a day trip today. Actually just another one tomorrow, but a few extra hours there. Today I decided to see the new town and tomorrow the old. It also meant I could book up a host of rail tickets, and annoy the nice people at Austria's ticket office.

I didn't really get into the Salzburg spirit. It was kind of nice, but not exactly. And apparently they really don't want anything to do with the Sound of Music, except for the tourist dollars (and no, I did not ask: that was an unsolicited clarification)



Another day, another palace... I really am beginning to lose track of which Archbishop did what to whom in the Ballroom.


Very respectable fortress on the hill behind Salzburg - apparently it was never taken, and considering the place was ruled as a catholic fiefdom for over 1000 years I guess it must be true.


A Roman villa style castle was okay. But the gardens were excellent.


Here you go, fountain fans. Just to show that some of these water spouters are just plain rubbish.


This one's pretty good, though
