I didn’t intentionally plan to visit Salzburg located somewhere in western Austria, but due to some miscommunications and errors in planning… realised I have an extra 2 days for my tour. Thus, we decided to visit one of the nearest place from Budapest by train.
Here’s the interior of train with a guy for you all to salivate on.
Weather in Salzburg was down to less than 20 degrees, 3 of us assuming that the entire Europe is experiencing summer didn’t even bother to bring any thicker attires. All I had was a cardigan, so I had to borrow my senior’s leather jacket since he requested me to bring it back to him back to Kuching. Thank God for that or else I’d probably catch a cold.
We booked a hotel instead of a hostel because hotels are cheaper than hostels. from the looks of this girl you can know how excited she is. [ Also, can salivate over her if you want to ]
We had a scrumptious dinner at some Pakistan restaurant, serving a wide range of curry. I had lamb curry and fragrant rice, perfected by a bottle of Italian red wine courtesy of Mike’s mum.
Weather was slight drizzling and cold, nevertheless we still had a great walk around the city of Salzburg. Streets were empty and shops were all closed but yet they seemed to be open with lightings still on.
By the way, Salzburg is famous for the birth of Mozart and If you have seen the movie The Sound of Music, you may think you know all there is to see in Salzburg. Hence souvenirs and gift shops will be flooded with miniature musical instruments or Mozart figures.
Everything sold here is so delicate and exquisite, not those flimsy, floaty handcrafts. What’s surprising, these items are just kept in a glass cupboard right in front of the shop with lights on despite the shop being closed, without attracting burglars of thieves.
A totally different culture from our country whereby normal citizens want to steal metal covers on drains, vandalizing everything that pleases the eyes. That’s why I love Malaysia more.
