In Salzburg

We never made it to Regensburg, because the water level in the Danube was too low for the boat to pass through.  So we docked in a small German town, and those who wished took a long bus ride to Regensburg for the walking tour there, and then another long bus ride to Salzburg.  We chose to go directly to Salzburg where we explored the town a bit, had a great lunch, took a nap, dined (it was a food-centered day) and slept in our beautiful hotel room at the Hotel Sacher.  You’ve heard of Sachertorte?  Well, at this hotel even the shampoo is chocolate flavored.  I did the 20 minute walk up to the Salzburg fortress on the hill.  

Both Larry and I have had enough of guided walking tours, so we decided today to skip it and went instead to the Maribell Gardens, scene from the Sound of Music.

We ate lunch at a beer garden, heard a lovely performance of the  Mozart G minor quintet at a jewel box of a concert hall, and will now attend our farewell reception and dinner.
