Salzburg

We arrived at the quiet little Austrian town late in the evening. Quickly found our hotel and checked in. Though this hotel was more of just renovated rooms in a large house. It was the only thing we could find open when we booked the day before and it worked out quite nice. We got a little spoiled with a fancy bathroom which played music and a balcony. So after a good nights sleep, we picked up some food essentials and decided to eat in one of the numerous parks in Salzburg. From there we walked to the Altstadt, or old town, which I am sure you have heard us talk about before because all of the German and Austrian towns have them. In the Altstadt we found an impressive church, cobble stone streets and the coolest cemetery we have ever seen. The whole town of Salzburg kind of seemed like we were in a daze. The town is quite small a little over one hundred thousand people and as we roamed the streets, it seemed like all the residents had jobs that catered to the tourists that came to town whether the were street performers, vendors, or shop owners. The town itself is built into a high bluff and we decided to climb up the old city walls to get a better view. There was a lift, but we decided to man it up and decided to take the stair which turned out to be a trail with thousands of steps. It was worth it though because the view was amazing. After our slow decent, we headed to the train station, where we boarded an afternoon train to Innsbruck, which turned out to be quite an experience.
