Europe trip (Salzburg, Austria) (6th and 7th day)

Initially, we were supposed to go to Innsbruck instead of Salzburg. However, we changed our mind as Salzburg, as we know, is more interesting. This city is famous for just two things. The Sound of Music and Mozart. Sometimes I really feel the older generation contributed and affected the future of the younger ones. Because of these two, and also the creative designs of those old buildings ,  Salzburg is a famous tourists’ site. I would say that to all the European countries! Imagine Kajang is famous for some international stuffs and our nenek moyangs were good in architectural. It’ll be flooded man!

I didn’t get to go to all of the places where The Sound of Music was filmed. Only went to the Mirabell Gardens where they sang the “Do-Re-Mi” song and the Nonnberg Abbey.

this is the garden.

For Mozart, I only got to go to his residential area and his birthplace. Not much of it. Even I couldn’t find for his monument! :(

my brother acting a beggar in front of Mozart's living place. =P

I could see many puppets in Austria too. I guess it is famous for this.



they make this puppets a lot there.



One thing I am so not used to here in Austria and also in Switzerland. In Malaysia, when someone wants to cross the road, he or she will have to wait for the road to clear up before they can cross even when using the zebra crossing lines. But here, it seems that the pedestrians have higher authority or placing than the drivers. Even when the driver is driving full speed, he will stop and let the person to cross. The pedestrians here also really abide the law. Even when there’re no cars at all, everyone will choose to wait till the pedestrian light turns green only they cross! Really in awe with their attitude.

Festungsberg! Climbed up the hill for that castle!

Oh yeah, not to be missed! Their pasar area! =P

We stayed one night and the next night, we took a midnight train to Venice, Italy. Had to stay over at the train because we were lack of time.

Stayed in the church for one hour to wait for the night train. It was so cooold inside! This painting at the ceiling caught my eyes. Really beautiful :)

p/s: yes teacher, the things in austria are much cheaper! looks like switzerland is the one with higher price to everything! =P
