Our first backpack belated honeymoon trip to Austria--Day 6 (Salzburg)

Morning everyone! We're saying goodbye to Heiligenblut and catching the first postbus to the train station. We're heading to Salzburg for Mozart.
After we got off the postbus, we found that Mrs. Lui had underestimated the walking distance from the bus stop to the train station with our backpacks. We were in very hurry and worry for the walking speed and the train schedule, however, by God's grace, we had arrived safely and still had some time to get a breath. The train station of Dolsach was "abandoned". There was nobody in the station, neither the officiers nor passengers. All doors were locked. We were worried about if we went to the wrong place.

We had waited for about 30 mins, and then the train arrived finally. We arrived Salzburg on schedule. The first thing we did in Salzburg was buying the Salzburg card (€25 /person / 24 hours). This card was the same function with the Innsbruck card.

After we checked in the pension room, we took a walk in Salzburg. From our pension to the city center, we had to take bus. However, we didn't need to pay for it because we had Salzburg card. 
We had a light lunch in the city center-- Bosna. A kind of hotdog, but there was something more. As a hotdog fan, I thought the best hotdogs in the world were in NY and Toronto. But, I thought Bosna was the third on my list. It was not cheap as a hotdog (about €4 per basic Bosna), but it's worth. Mr. Lui ate two Bosna in once.
After lunch, we went to find Mozart. His home was just few buildings next to Bosna Grill. The entry fee was : FREE.










As a music teacher, Mrs. Lui was excited about putting a footprint on Mozart's home. She couldn't keep her mouth shut for talking about Mozart, his history, his pieces, bra bra bra.....
After Mozart, it's time for a boat trip on the River.


The carbin of the boat was made of glass. Under the big sun, we liked the flower in the glass house. Hot and out of air! The best thing was, there wasn't any fan nor openable windows. We didn't enjoy the boat trip a lot.
Mr. Lui was looking at the map.
Better to enjoy a glass of beer after a glass-house- liked-boat trip.
Done with the city sight seeing, we headed back to pension and got some rest. Then, we took a bath and change for the evening concert and a fine dinner at Shareton Hotel. We bought the package online. The package cost about €200 per person, it included a fine dinner at Sharton Hotel, and the best seat of a concert in Mirabell Palace.
After dinner, we still had time to take pictures in the Mirabell Palace Garden, the shooting place for the song "Do, Re, Mi" in The Sound of Music.





Done with the day sight seeing and concert, The Lui's were exhausted. But we found something to refresh during we were waiting for the bus.




A comment from a pilot: The best ice cream in the world he had ever tasted was in Austria. Believe it or not, Mrs. Lui was trying!

Night night everyone, we had to recharge our energy for tomorrow!
