Our first backpack belated honeymoon trip to Austria--Day 7 (Salzburg)

Good morning from Salzburg. Today was our second day at Salzburg. We're going to have a "The Sound of Music" road trip. Let's go!

Guess which scene and what place was it? The answer is: The concert where The Trams sang songs before they escaped to Switzerland.

Inside the hall, there is a place called "Haus of Mozart". It was a place for the people to wait before the concert or take a rest in the intermission.

There was a Mozart Plaza. We found the basin which Mozart got baptisted. Many things which linked to Mozart. BTW, he spent a large part of his life here.

Time to take a rest after a long walk and got some refrestment. We went to Mozart Cafe where famoused by their "Salzburger Nockerl" which was a huge souffle. We almost couldn't finish one nockerl. We ate nothing after having this. If you wanna try different dishes on the menu, you have to ask your friends with you to share.

After a good rest, we were fully charged again. The next sight would be Festung Hohensalzburg. This was the castle for milatary used. We took the cable car to the Festung which was free with the Salzburg card. Also, it was a good place to take a panorama picture of the whole Salzburg.

On the way back to the city centre and our next sight, there was a guidepost for another The Sound of Music shooting place-- the Abbey gate. We were not sure if we got the right gate because there were several of them.

After a long walk, time to have some fun! We were heading to Hellbrunn Palace.Be aware, you may get wet. We were wet as we didn't believe the warning!

 
When people were sitting and listening to the guide, then... SO, BE CAREFUL! There were many mechanism treats inside the garden.

There was another reason we visited this place though it wasn't a attrative palace. The pavilion which Rolf and Liesl sang "Sixteen going on seventeen" and they kissed. However, the pavilion wasn't opened at the moment, we it was much smaller then we imagined. 

 
Time for meal again. We tried a fast food restaurant in the city center, which the price was reasonable and the food was acceptable. (Due to the budget control, we couldn't spend too much for meals everyday. )

Nordsee was a chain fast seafood restaurant. This bowl of seafood salad came with a bottle fo drink cost only €6.95.

We went to the last sight of the day after dinner, Mirabell Palace Garden. We didn't have enough time to take picture yesterday. So, we went there again. Summer was the time for flowers.

Do you know which song did the casts sing in this place? It's "Do Re Mi". When Maria sang the high high C (C3), she was running up to the stair and these were the fountain and the stair. Good to have completed the day with The Sound of Music.

Tomorrow would be another hiking day!
