travel to Salzburg
Woke up at 7 for a leaving time as early as possible. I don't trust us to leave on time any more. Made it to train station at 9:35, 45 minutes before our train. Got a seat and took our bags off. Bini looked after the bags and I went and got some pastries, more finger pointing and saying zwei bitter.
Got on train on a carages that initially smelt like a toilet. However the train staff fixed the toilet so it was soon fine. Train trip was uneventful, bini slept, I enjoyed the loverly Austrian and German scenery. Arrived in Salzburg about 1 and went to hostel. Couldn't check in till 2 so decided to so our washing. Sadly we forgot to have lunch and both got super hungry. Ended up buying Korean noodles from the hostel and eating them. Checked in. Room is nice is a 4 person mixed dorm. Beds are decent.
Had dinner from the hostel. Wasn't great but was cheap. We both had a schnitzel sandwich. From 8 we watched sound of music which is played at the hostel. It finished at 10 and we both saw it through new eyes as in dachau we had read that the earliest prisoners were Austrian political prisoners. Anyway went to bed. Slept decently. Alastair got eater alive by something not sure what yet. I've got about 8 bits around the left side of my body by none on the other side.
May I suggest that Google Translate is a wonderful travel friend. Download the language you need when you have Wifi and then use it offline while out and about. Hope Bini is feeling better and your bites don't recur.
