Österreich

Flew into Munich from London and managed to run into other students looking as confused as I was on how to get to salzburg. We all managed to figure out where the trains were and took a train from Munich to Salzburg.

The first night in salzburg we went to the Augustiner Beer Garden. This place was massive. Aside from it being so hot and humid it was a lovely first day. The next day we got to meet justice Kennedy and of course everyone was excited. We had dinner with him and at that same dinner I met two austrians named Noran and Fabian.

Fabian and I became great friends and he ended up driving Di and I to a nearby lake and showing us most of Salzburg by his car. How do I manage to get my own personal local tour guide in every city i go?! (He is thinking about driving us to Munich too!) Anyways we all enjoyed ourselves there and tanned. And believe me after weeks in the rain of Dublin it was refreshing to get a tan.

fabian!

Salzburg is a small town where everyone knows everyone so by night 3 I was basically on a first name basis with the bartenders in the pubs (this does not mean I am developing alcoholism) haha. 

Why the bars know my name--karaoke night

Another touristy thing I was able to do was the sound of music bike tour. This was amazing as it was a 3 hour bikeride around the city to all the major Sound of Music places.

Lastly, we went and climbed austrian mountains to go deep into salt mines and walk from Austria to germany all while inside the mountains!

More to come on Salzburg but ill leave you with some pics
