Helllllo! Since this is my first time actually blogging from the road the entry will be more brief than usual. Thís Hungarian keyboard is also more confusing so please excuse any typos...
We started off Carnival Break in Salzburg, Austria. We took the overnight train from Luxembourg to Munich and slept in the couchette. That was probably the smallest space I have ever slept in. We arrived in Munich around 8:30 in the morning and transferred trains to Salzburg. Erin and I managed to grab a cup of Starbucks in the Munich train station though before catching the next train. The only reason I found this notable is because it was the first Starbucks I have seen since leaving the United States.
We finally made it to Salzburg around 11 and took the metro to our bed and breakfast. Our B&B was on the side of a freakin mountain in the Austrian Alps and had amazing views. We had two rooms for the five of us and both were enormous. We managed to time our arrival into Salzburg with the arrival of over two feet of snow. After settling in and napping for a few hours we decided there was nothing else to do but have a snowball fight in the nearby expanse of snow. Cold and wet, we returned to the B&B when our faces could no longer feel the stinging. After warming up and changing clothes we settled in for a cozy movie session. Take a guess as to what movie we watched...After the movie we took the tram back into the main part of town and ate dinner at an authentic Austrian restuarant. We hung out at the restaurant for a while before calling it a night and heading home.
The next morning we were picked up at our B&B and transferred to the starting point for the Sound of Music tour. It was awesome. We saw a lot of the sights from the movie and our tour guide was a lot of fun and sang along with us throughout the bus ride. (Mom, unfortunately, we did not get to go in that house and we were pretty far away from the lion gates because the lake behind the house was entirely frozen over). After our four hour tour of Sound of Music film locations we grabbed lunch by the train station and off we went to Budapest.
More on Budapest later, we got in last night and today was action packed but we are about to eat dinner so stay tuned! Love you all lots! Pictures can be found here!
