Salzburg

Our trip to the capital of the "Mozartkugel"




just in case anyone missed this precious and famous candy

After picking up Jamie and Drew at the airport, we drove into Salzburg for coffee and cake at the "Tomaselli" the oldest coffee house in Austria (open since 1705). Then we looked at some of the finest baroque architecture, in fact, Salzburg has one of the best-preserved city centers in the German-speaking world. Oh, and wasn't Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart born here?
But most importantly, the setting for parts of the musical and film ”The Sound of Music” took place in Salzburg.



snacking at the market and bags full of "Schnaps"






the view down to the old part of Salzburg from the terrace of the Panorama-Restaurant "Mönchsberg 32"





some strenuous research revealed,
that there are actually 500 antlers on the ceiling inside of this restaurant
