Salzburg - the Land of Salt!

Salzburg! this is the place i plan to go!! plan to go with Shithead. too bad! i had so much fun with the gals!

its was a bad start initially. the tour arranged by the hotel fly us kite! the pick up from the tour came late. when we reach the pick up point where our tour bus is waiting for us, there was a loooooong queue of ppl waiting to go up the bus. As we were there late due to the late pick up from hotel, we were the last few in the queue. when we were abt to board the bus, we were told the bus is full so we cant go for the tour! WTF! they refuse to do anything n nv apologise. all they could say is "TOO BAD!" wtf is too bad!! cb!

End up we went for an alternative. a tour arranged by the train stn. but instead of traveling on the bus, ours is on a train. its abt 2hrs train ride away from munich! the tour guide - Valerie is very nice n helpful. she even intro us to munich on the train. tell us wat to do n where to go ard in munich if we are free. wat to nice to eat! not like some guide onli explain to u abt the place we are goin n then he keep his mouth shut.

there's nutin much to see at the train stn. u gotta walk abt 10mins b4 our 1st stop. MirabellGarten. its the settin where some scene from Sound of the Music was filmed. very beautiful. june is the best time to go. coze all the flowers are blooming. nice n colourful!







tried to imitate the poses by the children from Sound of Music.. abit cannot make it lah.. -_-""

next we walk pass the place where Mozart grew up. he grew up there till he's 17 and he moved to Vienna. (His house in Vienna is MUCH prettier) u see! abit chui lah!


then we haf to cross the bridge to the other side of salzburg where most of sight seeing stuffs are located. we cut thru alleys n finali came to the reknown walking street in salzburg! they are reknow for their special signboard. eg, ZARA!!


along the street has oso the born place of Mozart. there is dis building painted in yellow with big gold words slash on it saying " Mozart's Birth House". u may wanne go in n take a look. but abit waste time wan lah.. wahah! or shd i say i not so "musical" to wanne go in n juz to see how his birth house looks like lor.. 



next we went to the market place. where they sell the famous Mozart Kugel Chocolate. the Red packagin ones are the imitations. cheap n good as souvinors. but if its yr 1st time tasting it, u gotta buy the original expensive but super nice "Furst". Seriously i dunno wat the diff. taste the same. dun reali like it too. haha!
