Around Salzburg
Jul. 1st, 2013 06:16 pmI was worried that Salzburg was going to be all Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, one of my least favourite composers, but it's not that bad. Mind you, I appeared to be the only person photographing the birthplace of Christian Doppler. (He has that effect on me.)
There is a fortress overlooking the town, the Festung Hohensalzburg, but I don't think I'm going up there. All routes seem to involve walking next to drops, and my feet won't allow me to do that. There is a funicular railway going up there, but I'm afraid I'll get to the top and find I'm unable to get out of the car.
The best weather of my holiday so far today.
Had a meal just now, and when the waitress arrived, I asked in my best German, "Sprechen Sie Englisch?" and when she said "Yes" I ordered. When I completed my order, she replied, "Oui" and then apologised. She had just been serving a French party. I'm glad I'm not the only one who gets their foreign languages confused.
