Arrived by train after a 3 hour ride, climbing gradually the better part of the last 1 1/2 hours. We had a clear day to travel although there were clouds scattered throughout, rain clouds as well. After settling in to our hotel room, we made a beeline for the Salyburg Castle high up on the hill getting there by funicular r.r. Quite a view of the surrounding hills and countryside on every side and took a number of interesting pictures. The explanations were not very good as there were very few English translations. As well there was a large section that seemed to deal with the local regiment(s) of soldiers during W.W. I.
Made our way back down and had dinner in front of Mozart´s (sans music) Geburtshaus (house, for those of you who don´t speak Austrian/German), then walked back to our Hotel (about a 15 minute walk). We do have plans to get back down tomorrow to do a bit of quick shopping before we pick up our train ride to Zurich - will have to see what time we leave as there are only a few connections that take us on to Luzern. Scheduled to meet up with Richard and Densie Blum at the Hotel De La Paix there.
If you are wondering about the spelling (I think mom and I got all the mistakes), the keyboard here is a bit different. Most notable is that ´z´and ý´are interchanged as well as a lot of the other symbols. Mr. Qwerty would not be impressed. Now we will try for some pics however, my documents does not seem to be coming up as an option on this computer.
Sorry everyone, unable to upload pics - maybe from Luzern.
Love and kisses to all who are taking the time to read about our journeys in Europe.
Jim and Joan
