Salzburg

We had a lovely day in Salzburg; the 17th Century old town is very pretty and well preserved. The Sound of Music was filmed here so we were keen to don our play-clothes and sing our way to some of the spots!

We started off in Mozartplatz (Mozart was born here in 1756 and left the town at 24years of age and headed for Vienna). We took a horse and carriage which was lovely (as in Do-Ray-Mi) and toured all the main sights in the Old Town, including the Dom (cathedral) and Mozart's Birthplace.

Then it was time for gelati and a steep climb up to Festung Hohensalzburg, the hill top fortress  built in 1077, which dominates Salzburg's skyline to admire the views of the city.

Stopped in at Nonnenberg convent, where the abbey scenes where filmed; Rog tried to leave me there!
