Travel Blog: I have lost count of the Days: Salzburg Back on the train headed south into the Med to see Croatia. Its an awful day of travel… Croatia is becoming a tourist destination because of its beautiful beaches but they need a better way to get around before they will get there. We are taking the train from Salzburg to Zagreb for about 7 hours, and then in Zagreb we will be taking a flight from Zagreb to Dubrovnik where hopefully a shuttle will be waiting to take us to Mlini where we are staying. We started out today at [View Full Entry]

Travel Blog Day 13 Salzburg We are in the old city of Salzburg now. Not sure how many of the touristy things we will do here, like the Castles and Churches, because we have seen them throughout our trip and they tend to be similar. Its 1:30 in the pm local here and Kyle and Josh have both been asleep since about 230 last night. I’ve been up since 9 (I don’t sleep), but that just tells you how tired these guys are, we are kinda ready to set up our roots for more than a few days. Getting to our [View Full Entry]

Roho: Photos once again not a happening thing. Sorry, don't blame us, it's the super security-ised hostel computers! We're trying our best, so some may appear...maybe. So we totally forgot to tell you about the truck we saw between Prague and Cesky Krumlov. Rich: Rohani turns around, taps me on the shoulder, and says 'look at this'. To our astonishment, the truck in the traffic queue behind us was black. But wait, there's more. Above the driver's window is a big All Blacks sign with the silver fern! The other Kiwis with us on the back seat were just amazed! So [View Full Entry]

Monday 16th June Catherine’s 21st birthday today, so we surprise her with a little cake before we head off - didn’t want to wait til the evening. Find the coach drop in Salzburg after negotiating the one-way system a bit, then Freddie and John drive off to the coach park, and the rest of us head in across the river, looking out for pretzels en route. Lose half the group at the first ATM, more at the pretzel stand, and several went on ahead to find the Sound of Music locations (I would like to have gone with that group!). Had [View Full Entry]

APR. 29 - MAY 1 SALZBURG Straight from Munich we took an evening train to Salzburg. There was hardly anyone in our car, so I was plucking my guitar strings at a polite volume. A shy quintessential german (with his blond hair gelled in a far part) commented on the music so we started a conversation...He was reading a business book in English and asked us what the word proprietary meant. Elizabeth and I both had a brain fart and decided that we needed to come back to the states and relearn our own language. The train stop for our hostel [View Full Entry]

Hey all! Just a quick update to let you all know that I´m alive. :) Lysh and I are in Salzburg right now, on a day trip from Munich... we just arrived, but needed to burn our photos onto discs, so we stopped in to an Internet cafe quick. I haven´t seen the places where the Sound of Music took place yet, but from the train this place looks soooo beautiful! Almost like a painting. Don´t worry, Maddog, I´ll take lots of pictures for ya. ;) Munich is AMAZING! Definitely my favorite so far. Alysia and I plan on living here [View Full Entry]

May 21, 2008 Wow, we had another busy day. We both got to sleep quickly but my cell phone rang at 3:47am and woke us. I was unable to get the call before it dropped. The call was from area code 413. We did recognize so I did not try to call back. For your info, I will disconnect my phone as I go to sleep every night. If you need us to call when we get up, send me a text message which I will get when I reconnect and then reach you. We decided to take a tour of [View Full Entry]

Well, I am sitting in this internet cafe as it is raining today (Sunday)...how dare it! I still have my little sunshine travelling with me in my case, so what's up?!! Left Vienna and found my intercity train easy peasy! My eurorail vouchers are for 1st class travel ...such style (grin). Just over a 2hr journey ..very smooth. Arrived Salzburg and my bus was waiting for me (just kidding, but there was one going just my way). Quite a way out of the centre of Salzburg, but it is stunning scenery where I am staying. Not sure about the photos as [View Full Entry]

Morning: We woke up early to take a train to Salzburg and find a hostel for one night. So we packed up and said our goodbyes to Daniel who's been nice to let us stay an extra night in his room, and left for the train station. We have to take a tram and change to the Metro to reach the train station and we reach there in time. When we finally reached Salzburg, it was about noon time so we quickly find the way to the youth hostel which we found online and walked all the way there. It took [View Full Entry]

Sorry for the blog delay, internet has not come easily lately. We took a train from Graz to Salzburg on the 7th of May, to get to Jess' Dance Audition at S.E.A.D (Salzburg Experimental Academy of Dance). Salzburg was surrounded by mountains and the relatively small town is boxed in by them, some still with snow on them. The 1st day was an open day of classes with current and potential students which Jess loved. The 2nd day we did as much sight seeing as possible including a fortress on top of a hill looking over Salzburg, took a tour down [View Full Entry]
