Salzburg: Sound Of Music Tour & Mozart

Met a Malaysian family here touring with their daughter, recently graduated from law school in London, they suggested us to take a ‘Sound of Music Tour’ with them to visit Salzburg in it’s prettiest estate. No doubt, we were entertained by a really amusing tour guide.

Clouds were slightly gloomy but thank God there wasn’t any rain because according to weather forecast, it was supposed to rain with a temperature of 12 degrees. Couldn’t be trusted sometimes.

We were astounded by nature’s beauty, mountain cliffs and houses and cottages along the way that were all so splendid. Exactly like living in a fairy tale of happy endings.

We came to a town where St. Michael’s church is located, I donated several Euros and got a bottle of Holy water to bring back home.

I had an afternoon tea with Eelin, tasted one of the famous apple strudel & cheese strudel in hot vanilla sauce, perfect for chilly weather. 

We arrived in a garden as the tour ended, nothing fancy compared to those in castles but this was really spectacular. Flowers blooming everywhere, imagine walking in this with a perfect weather of 20 degrees. Scent of heaven everywhere.

Spent quite sometime here just walking, life here moves in slow pace. It look me quite sometime to get used to it, to actually admire the beauty of nature.

Wanted to do some shopping since shopping streets were everywhere, ZARA, H&M as large as a 4 storey building but there were too many tourists flooding the area so I ended with a leather sling bag for mum. 

Mozart’s birthplace

We had ‘lunch’ at some desert place, ordered a table full of cakes.. I had chocolate orange cake and a cup of coffee. Entertained by street performers opposite the place we ate.

Took a picture with Mr. Mozart himself before bid adieu to this lovely place.
