Day 13

This was our big day on tour. From 9am til 7pm we were on the Salzburg Sound of Music tour. A coach trip through lovely green countryside took us to Salzburg. Our guide took us on a 2 hour walking tour which included a lovely narrow main street with guilded signs above each store as they are not allowed neon. We then took a cable car to the fortress. The view over the town was amazing. Looking the other way we saw the alps and Hitlers Eagles Nest.Another hightlight was the Lakes District where we pulled off the highway and saw a superb lake with sky divers coming off a far away cliff ( not unlike Queenstown). We then went to the village of Mondsee where the church was used for the wedding in the Sound Of Music. You could see why because it was absolutely amazing inside. This was an exhausting day but a special one.
