Afternoon in Salzburg old town

Raining heavily this morning so we decided to be lazy and not go out late. 

Today when we went out we walked around around old town and saw many of the sound of music filming spots. First we saw the Marrabel gardens where the do re me scene finally was filmed. It was great. We both got some great of pictures. Something we've noticed about Austria compared to everywhere else is that there is a huge amount of Asian tourists here. Mostly Korean in our hostel but all types. They outnumber all other tourists by about 10 to 1 which isn't a good thing. 

Anyway get the gardens we walked across a bridge covered in padlocks of people "locking their love" to a bridge. I stupid idea in my opinion. Makes bridges much  harder to design for. 

Next we went to Mozart's birth place. We spend about half an hour in here and  saw some great thing. Id forgotten Mozart had a sister. Also his violin was cool and we saw all types of sets designs for his opera and stage performances. Left Mozart's house as it closed and the did a nice stroll around old town. We saw the nice big fountain in the  middle of town however there was fences everywhere as they were doing work on it. Also we saw Mozart's statue. Next the search for the toilet for bini began. We found a pay toilet however we only had one, 50 cent. Bini went in and once payed t get into the toilet found that the mother and son in there hadn't locked the door so they shut the door in her face and locked it. Wasting binis money. Without any 50 cent coins left we went to starbucks, bogus a hot chocolate and used their toilet with the code you get in the receipt. Catastrophe averted. 

Decided to splurge on dinner. Went to a nice Austrian place and got a traditional meat plate and a snitzel to share. The meals were huge!!! And we definely could've have shared one. Ah well the food was fantastic. The pork snitzel with cranberry sauce was great and the traditional meats included a chunk of great ham, some wonderful roast beef and a Austrian sausage. Also included had a bread dumpling and some sauerkraut. Bini discovered she hates sauerkraut. 

After dinner we went for a walk up one of the hills of Salzburg. After what felt like thousands of stairs we found a loverly spot to watch the sunset from. Spent around and our here watching the  sunset. It was amazing and very picturesque. We then went for a walk around the hill and through the forest. Got back to the hostel around 10 and went straight to bed. A loverly day overall.
