Salzburg
Septmeber 17-18, 2007
The view from the castle, no matter which side you are on was amazing.
Day 14
We arrived in Salzburg at around 10am but couldn't check into our hostel until 11, so we ate breakfest at our world famous hostel Yoho Intl***, then checked in. We walked down to the river toward the Fortress. We saw about 500 scarfs along the way, which is ironic because there were none in Vienna!! We walked up to the Hohensalzburg Fortress, seeing: Salzburg Cathedral with a 4,000 pipe organ, festival theater, Mirabell Garten, Mozart's Birth house, Residenz state room, Schlossmirabell, and Kirche St. Peter. Salzburg is very pretty and interesting because of Mozart and the Sound of Music! Later that night we went back and changed, then went out for dinner at McDonalds and a a little shopping. It rained a some while we were out and about but overall it was a really nice day.
Day 15
We woke up at 5:40am, checked out, walked to the train station, and perfectly caught our train leaving at 6:22. By this point in our trip Brian and I were pros at leaving quietly and quickly from our hostels, finding hostels, making trains, switching trains on time, and reading a map!!!
Salzburg is a 3. It was small, pretty and the Sound of Music was filmed there!!
Brian and Ashley trip: sixth stop. Day 14-15.
Vienna
September 15-16, 2007
Karles Kirche, one of the pretties Churches and best places to sit rest, read or just relax!
cont. Day 12
We arrived in Vienna at about 1pm and by the time we took our tram, and found our hostel, Wombat's the Base*** it was 1:30pm. We check in, rested, ate at McDonald's then headed out to the city. We had to take a tram down to the city centre. We walked along down the dr-King-Lueger-Ring and saw... Hofburg, Stephansdom, Parliament, Rathaus, Schloss Schoenbrunn, Burgtheater, Oper, Museum Quarters, J. Strass Dankmal, Karls Kirche, Haas Haus, Mozart Dankmal, and the Gloriette! We stayed down town all day, Brian had pizza and I had chicken fried rice. We looked for scarfs, which everyone was wearing but we couldn't find, then saw the city at night. It was lovely! I also met two missionaries, one from Germany and the other from Orem Utah!! We went back to the hostel and had a drink then bed!

Day 13
We took a day trip to Bratislava, then came back and went to the Belveder and ate at McDonald's. Later we took a train to Hundertwasserhaus, an apartment designed by Friedensreich Hundertwasser. Which was amazing, it looks a lot like Gaudi's work in Barcelona! After seeing this, we went back down town for a stroll then back to the hostel.
Vienna is a 5. It was equally as pretty at night as day, with many things to see and clean streets!
Brian and Ashley trip: sixth stop. Day 12-13.
