SALTZBURG, AUSTRIA

Today we went to Austria,to Saltzburg; me , Corinna and her Mum, Claire.
We went in Claire's, Audi convertable car.
It has a GPS navigation system in it, we went on the autobahn, very good and modern motorway.
Most of the time there is 3 lanes and sometimes 2 lanes.
People can, at times, drive as fast as they want, no speed limit.
We saw cars zoom past us that went 180 km . But mrs Lichtenstein only went 130 km's.( sometimes 140)
Most of the time the trucks aren't allowed to pass cars, and they have to stay on the very right lane. There are so many trucks!!!!
We had a picnic lunch in a nearby field near Saltzburg.
Then we drove to an underground carpark, under the mountain, near the city.
It was very hazy, and about 29 C today, The sun tried to come through, but it was just too hazy.

My impressions of Saltzburg is of great delight and very beautiful with lots of old buildings, cathedrals and character,markets, and lots of lovely sweet candy or chocolate shops , very touristical, because it is Mozart's birthplace.
And they made the "Sound of Music' here.
I saw the fortress at the top of the hill, and the churches and I went into the catacombs.
I recognized the part of the movie of the sound of music of that square where they had raised the nazi flag. And the fountain.
We had a full day there and in the afternoon, I shouted Corinna and her mum afternoon tea at the cafe ( see photo) on the balcony with the flowers.
I am grateful for everything they have given me and done for me.. Specially this day out.
Tonight we had a bread meal with lovely spreads, smoked trout, special dried/cured ham from Spain, worth $250- NZ a kilo)( which they got from a friend from Spain)
Anyway, I thought I better write the story first and place the pictures later, or underneath.
Ask me any questions, maybe I forgot to tell you something.( in the comment section)
Chuss, Marianna.
