Europe Trip 2010 Day 14 - Salzburg, Austria

7 Aug - Salzburg.  After breakfast, we headed out for a tour of the town.  It was raining so we decided to get a van tour with one of the companies.  The tour was OK and we saw alot of the outside of town and a little of the history. The guide was a little quirky......... After the riding tour, we walked the old town on our own.  Salzburg is a very pretty little old town. Mozart was born here and the Sound of Music was partly filmed here.  Despite the weather, we had a good time.  We finished at the market and bought items for lunch: bread, fruit, etc to eat in the car on the way to Praque for 5 hours in the car!!!!!!!!
