We had a lovely senice train ride to Salzburg (1.5 hrs), we arrived at 11 and wandered off to find our hotel. It was too early for check in so we dropped off our bags and made our way to the gorgeous Mirabel Gardens to view some of the sights.
We had a lovely picnic in the Garden and then the gals headed off on the Sound of Music Tour, Doug declined to accompany us and made his own way to the old Town and up to Hohensalzburg Fortress to take panoramic pictures of Salzburg.
The Sound of Music tour was lovely, we stopped to take pictures of Schloss Leopoldskron, Schloss Frohnburg and the Glass Gazebo. We had a passing glimpse of the Convent of Nonnberg (if you happened to be sitting on the right side of the bus.). After those sights we had a longish drive out to the lake country to enjoy views and photo opportunities overlooking the lovely lakes.
We had a nice stop in Mondsee to view the church where Maria and the Captain were wed (in the movie), this was a lovely town on one of the lakes.
