The hills are alive with the sound of music...

Salzburg.
One of my favourite places we've been to so far. It's small and quaint and hilly and beautiful and romantic and sound of music-y.

It only takes about 1.5 hours drive from Munich and we had a lovely day wondering around, finding where Mozart was born and lived, and also scenes from the movie The Sound of Music, explored a castle with amazing views of the city as well. We ate the best dessert I reckon I've ever had...apple strudel from a little hole in the wall organic bakery. Was just a lovely day and on the way home we blasted the soundtrack to the musical while we drove with a brilliant view of the Alps to our left. Brings a new meaning to the lyrics "Climb every mountain."

The river that runs through Salzburg

Me and Mozart hanging out

This cathedral was awe inspiring and there was even a guy playing the organ

I don't think this is from the movie but it looked like it so I took a picture. The graves were so artistic.

Me hanging out at the castle

Miri with the view of the city

Where Mozart was born (3rd floor I think)

Musicians playing interesting instruments. There was live music everywhere you went.

Apfelstrudel and coffee by the river

At the famous fountain the kids danced around. I'm holding an Austrian drink that is sort of like ginger beer but not really.

The abbey where Maria is from in the movie. Unfortunately it closed 2mins before we made it. I'll see it next time I stop by.
