Saltzburg, Mozart and a Guilty Pleasure

---

Day 9 Salzburg and ‘The Sound of Music’
Up early and drove into Salzburg to indulge Kim’s guilty pleasure , the love of his life Julie Andrews and the Sound of Music. We wandered around the pretty old town and saw where Mozart was born, and the Mirabell Gardens where they shot the scene for the ‘Do Re Mi’ song. Took the coach trip to the other Sound of Music scene places, with many other (sad) people. Had a very good Austrian /American guide who put a lot of dry humour to the trip, which I think may have been lost on the Korean’s! .Visited a beautiful church in Mondsee, where Julie married Christopher Plumber in the film. Then of course sampled yet another apple strudel! Back in Salzburg we were in the Bongo and off to our next site at Bruck am der Grossglock , still Austria. Arrived in a downpour of rain, our first of the trip.
