Winter 2013
Hear the sound of music in Mozart's town of Salzburg (Feb-2011) |
Journal Entry... About time the OBB rail clamped on that Czech train at the border, to pull the train past Czech territory into Austria. I was giddy to be back in winter wonderland! Hubby and I made it up to Vienna, from Venice backdoor... Link to>>> Journal Entry: Waltzing Through Vienna #austria #vienna #winter2011
8-feb: Arrived Salzburg... I could not wait to have my hands on a sweet dessert... Check-in: #WolfDietrichApartement, in Linzergasse a bridge away to the old town of Salzburg.
Only I felt a slight fever coming my way. Blame it on the fluctuating temperature between warm indoors and cold outdoors, and fatigue from the journey. It was not the kind of condition I wanted to be in, and I prayed it was only a hiccup for the day.
I immediately downed the antibacterial medicine on standby in my First Aid Kit during travels, to arrest whatever was attacking my system and making me feel sick. That, and filling-up with a hearty Asian meal of soup, duck meat and rice combo hubby got for takeaway from the next door Japanese restaurant; hubby said the Japanese owner gave the rice for free. Carbohydrates was the energy booster, it got me back to form for the winter in Salzburg.

Tour guide led the group to secret rooms, including a "lookout tower". The fortress tour burned up all of my energy stock from breakfast. Mid-tour, I was having double vision and adrenaline meltdown, whilst I could not find a crumble inside my bag to nibble on. The fortress tour must not be missed when in Salzburg, just make sure to eat up before joining the tour.
Salzburg is also called the "Salt City" |
