Salzburg was the second stop we made
as we drove Kerstin's car to Munich. We didn't know what to expect, but
we certainly got more than bargained for.
The Sound of Music had it right.
Wandering around Salzburg is a joy. Visiting there in the winter - but
not during cold weather - gave me a chance to enjoy just being outdoors
and looking at the buildings. I think it gives Ljubljana a run for its
money in terms of being one of the cutest cities I've seen.
The Mirabell palace gardens are where
the children ended their first singing of the do-re-mi song.
and we just couldn't help ourselves
from breaking out into the same tune...
The palace sits at the base of the city
castle
And provides a place for even a lonely
goatherder to get a little love
as the Alps keep a silent vigil over the
monasteries and convents of the city.
It is a timeless place, where the
Salzach's waters flow as they have done throughout history and monuments
stand
to glories of the past.
