A local Marathon in Salzburg
Next day we had a complimentary breakfast at the hotel and it was really supmtuous..with so many varieties of cereal, fruits with dips, croissant, crepes, juices etc etc and the best part was that all that variety was delicious also. So after filling the fuel, we started for salzburg by train----its a 2 and a half hour journey and the route is very scenic.
At the railway station we found Burger king and had Veggi burger..just like we have in India..very delicious, dont know why they dont make it in US
Here either we could take a Sound of music tour or see the rest of the city, we chose the second option, again took an hop on..tour, first to get a feel of the city and saw then Helbrunn palace, there they have a special trick magic fountain show, but alas we couldnt enjoy it, as there were very few english speaking people so the guide spoke only german.
Then we roamed through the old town...its a pleasure to walk on cobbled roads, without any vehicle and see all the top brands and some local stuff also.We found a good restaurant also to have tea and garlic bread. I was surprised to see an Espirit Shop where they were selling the same Tshirts I bought in India for 1800/ in 30 Euros..means the rates are same, and if we consider the currency value, they are selling much higher in India.
And then we saw an Indian restaurant:):) and booked a table for our dinner over there..HANA'S RASOI--the food was very good and ambiance also good( most of the indian restaurants abroad compromise a lot on ambiance etc).
We had our return train at 12.44 in the night, and when we reached our reserved cabin, we saw their two men sleeping and were they stinking.....it was impossible to stay there what with smell of smoke,deinks perfumes and what all combined ...was so pungent, we couldnt stand, and despite our reservation we completed the journey somehwere else
Salzburg is so Mozart oriented that everywhere you find everything with his photo or statue, and it is amazing to see someone becoming such an Icon though he died at the age of 35 only.He prepared his first composition at the age of 5 only

Wow! Another set of beautiful pics!!!
It is wonderful to roam around a town and soak in the atmosphere! We always do that too :) Yes, the rates do seem much higher in India, for branded stuff - I have always ended up shocked to see that!
As for smelly people - yes that does seem to happen every once in a while.. makes it so uncomfortable, doesn't it?
And yes, Indian restaurants seem to be everywhere :)
Lovely snaps... !!!
Indian restaurants rock !!!

Veg. food is available? Good. Indian restaurant?? Good good.

I am familiar with Mozart, thanks to my sons. Both of them like western classical and I keep hearing them at home often.

'and if we consider the currency value, they are selling much higher in India.'I felt that way too.
You know what? I'm totally enjoying this trip with you. Thanks Renu ;)
Btw, Salzburg and no Sigmund Freud! The day I reach that city, I'm gonna take that guy's statue to task, seriously! :p
Smitha: I find that museums and churches etc..i visit one and for rest of the time I like to get the feel of the city.
These smelly people are quite a nuisance here:)
Indian restaurants or Indian cuisine atleast is available everywhere.
Hitchwirter: Thanx:)...For Indians living here, indian restaurants are a boon:)
Suku: Thanx:)
Muthu: :):)
Chriz: I saw theeurope in 70's and now revising my memories:)
Sandhya: Captions were because of my Bahuraani:).
For vegetarians I think Europe is better than US:), food is tasty here:)
Even my son and DIl liked the concert very much.
Bedazzled: Even I liked that MOvie..Sound of mUsic, but we had the shortage of time, may be some other time:)
Just Call me A: Seeing you after a long time:), how r u now?
So far I am having whale of a time:)
Indyea: Europe has a certain charm of its own:)
I am just coming from India, so Indian food is not such a novelty, but for my children it is:).
I heard Mozart's compositions for the first time:)...isnt it surprising that just like Indian artists, he also faced lot of financial problems and sometimes didnt have a place to live in..he lived with his friend for 7 whole years.
Hip Grand ma: In India, branded stuff is going the US way..like firs they sell with more than 100% profit and then keep on putting the sales...not a very good idea though.
Still thinking: Guide told us something about Freud, but yes he is not so visible:).
Awesome pictures Renu !! Have logged on after a while so didnt have any idea that you were visiting all these wonderful places. Have fun !!
U seem to b having a gala time :)
Indian food rocks :)
Gauri: seems to be busy? Hopefully i am going to see many palces and I want my travelogue documented:)
