As you might guess from the title I'm in Salzburg, also highly associated with one of its townies, Mozart. It's a pretty awesome city, I've had a great time here so far. The first day I just wandered around and saw the Dom, The Residenz, St Peterskirche, and the Mirabellgarten...all gorgeous. For lunch slash dinner I stopped at an amazing little hole in the wall, the Balken Grill, and for €2,50 I was eating the best sausage sandwich anyone would could appreciate...sort of a little twist on curry wurst, it was with mustard, onions, and parsley with a generous sprinkling of curry. YUM! Obviously for dinner I stopped as I must to make ice cream one of my wholesome meals for the day at Eisgrotte, not sure if that's just German for ice cream, or if that's the name of the place haha.
Day 2, which is coincidentally today, I went to Berchtesgaden to check out The Eagle's Nest, Hitler's little playground, anti-climatic, and overpriced to say the least. The redeeming factor comes in that you have a ridiculously beautiful view of the Alps looking over all the cities around, and lake Königssee. Only took half the day, and for a late lunch/dinner I ate at Bio Bistro Spicy Spices, which was honestly one of my favorite meals I've ever had, except maybe ribs, steak and potatoes, mac and cheese, fried chicken, and breyer's mint ice cream. I stopped by Stift Nonnberg where Maria starts her fun little music adventures, read in Mirabellgarten for a bit, and I'm gonna see about washing some clothes in the sink tonight, how's that for an awesome nightlife!?
Tomorrow I'm going to "the largest accesible ice caves," the Eisriesenwelt Werfen, which should be pretty fun, at least they'll help me cool off from this extremely hot weather that I'm experiencing up here in the Alps. Then Friday I'm off to Budapest!
