Austria - Salzburg

The Salt Mines were our first port of call today. Because Austria is landlocked the salt in the mountains surrounding Salzburg is a valuable resource which has been mined for many hundreds of years. We took a tour through a section of the underground mine showing how it was done before industrial processes took over. 
This afternoon, after a wurst and homemade pastie from the local markets, we went on ‘The Sound of Music’ tour. An afternoon spent driving around Salzburg listening to the soundtrack and seeing the sights that featured in the 1960’s American movie was fabulous fun.... well at least for Brii anyway!
The day was finished with a traditional Salzburg meal in a local restaurant washed down with a local beer/glass of wine.
