Salzburg
Last weekend we went to Salzburg- the town of Mozart, numerous festivals, the "Sound of Music" and much much more. Cindy and her daughter Audrey joined us.
On Friday we only drove till Stuttgart where Cindy welcomed us with a very tasty chicken!
We watched "Sound of Music" at Cindy's so we were prepared for the town where they shot that musical movie.
Arring in Salzburg noonish on Saturday, we had a little Italian style lunch with Pizza and off we went to the Ice Caves about 30 km from Salzburg. I probably never forget the crazy bubbling and giggling of our tour guide. First we had to climb and ride (cable car) up the mountain and after a little walk, we got rewared with a breath-taking one hour experience in Europes largest Ice Cave...
Afterwards we went to St Peters Church where the Stiftskeller St Peters is situated: the oldest restaurant in town dating back more than 1200 years. We had a flawless 3-course menu that was based on traditional reciepes from the 18th century:
- Cream soup with the fine taste of lemons and cinnamon
- Breast of roasted Capon* on truffled cream of sage with polenta, potato stuffed pear and vegetables from Pater Prior´s garden
- Mozarts Sweet Secret
Semi-frozen parfait of forestal honey with fruit and caramel sauce
But the really great part of the experience were the intermissions: the most famous arias and duettos by Mozart performed by opera singers.
Happy and with a full stomach we all slept were well and after having a strengenthing breakfast we were picked up for the "Sound of Music" bus tour through Salzburg and sourrounding beautiful landscape.
We spent a lovely afternoon exploring the town and parks a little bit better left the beautiful city to get back (needless to say that we hit three traffic jams....).
************************
I do have about 6 more weeks at the geriatric ward where I am working right now. By the end of the week I hope to get a positive reply from Tasmania where I applied to do my last rotation of my studies.... Keep all your fingers crossed for me!
And a big hug to Charly in Chur! Hope you enjoy your Swiss experience as much as I did!
