Austria - Salzburg

Today we travelled to Salzburg by train - no more planes now for 3months... we are not sure how we will cope ;-). 
The train was a pleasant change from the trains we have been on in the last couple of months... it was relatively modern, organised and CLEAN! The countryside in Austria was beautiful.
Salzburg seems quite small and quaint compared with Vienna and Vienna didn’t seem that big! We spent the  afternoon exploring the city on foot. Salzburg is the birthplace of Mozart and therefore there are a number of references to this famous composer. We visited the house in which Mozart was born. It was set up as a museum taking one through his life and that of his family. It was very interesting.
We then enjoyed a nice glass of local wine/ beer and strolled along the river before wandering to a nearby cafe for dinner.
