These are A few Of My Favorite Things..

Ok first off, i would like to say sorry for out last blog, it was an outraged burst that was stupid, i was suffering from a bout of scurvy and was not myself, and jessie is the best blogger in the world, she is in a league of her own, and i once again apologize for the demanding nature of our last blog, feel free to comment as little and as much as you like, if some want to comment twice it is more than welcome.

So from Kuromlov We rented a car (Pictured Below) and drove to Salzburg


Or was That A dream?

Ok well i think was actually happened from cesky krumlov is, we took a private shuttle to Salzburg, though kristie got somewhat worried because the van came to pick us up, it was been driven by two big big Czech men who looked like they had lived in the forest their whole life. So we both were a bit apprehensive, but we believed that more people would join us on the trip, but it turned up that it was just Kris and i and the two recently escaped jail inmates. Long story short, we wound through many back roads in a deep forest and fear was in kristies eyes the whole way, three hours later the hills were alive and the big guys dropped us off unscathed at Salzburg.

We met up in salzburg with two girls we had previously friended in Prague, so that was nice. Salzburg is very small town, framed by a castle sitting up on a hill overlooking the town, the town itself is very cute, with lots of cafes and shops to mingle around, and these are only a few of my favorite things.

So obviously when in Salzburg you must hop on the magical bus ride that is the 'Sound of Music tour'

Our Friends Veronica and Lauren Joined us. Luckly our hostel showed the movie every day at 10am, so we all woke up and watched the 3 hour long musical enchantment then immediatly afterwards hopped on the Bus.


Being the youngest by about 40 years was a good start to the tour, our guide was a commedian only to himself accourding to the under 60 crowd on the bus ( us four ). The tour brought us to several locations in the movie, and was more of a tour of the surrounding area then the movie. But nonetheless it was a good was to spend the day.
Singing tunes and eating strudle. But it had to end eventually and after seven whole hours of the sound of music the Von traps and i started our big journey over the Alps.

We came at the perfect time to slazburg becuase it is mid autum here and all the trees are a stunning color which made for some beautiful walks (which i did while kris was shopping).

From their we said goodbye, farwelll, auf widersehen goodnight.

were meant to head to Switzerland but we did not realise that train tickets into an around the country were outlandish prices, so we did a 180 and decided to go back to Germany and Go toi Munich. Best Choice we ever made.

So Munich...

We Checked into our hostel, as we do. Whilst using the internet later we run into two of our good buddies from the Croatia Tour (Nadine and Emma), They were staying the sames nights we were and doing the same things, so it was great to have familiar faces around.
One night we all headed out to a Bavarian Beer hall, it was huge and packed to the brim with people and beer wenches. The meal we had was by far the best i have had on this trip, price and taste wise. Kris had the bratwurst special, a bit dissapointing but still an oustanding meal. Now onto the big stuff. My Meal, i think i will let the picture do the talking.


(Best meal ever, and how could it not be with the name XXL Bavarian beer hall dinner, containing pork knuckle, roast pork, roast duck, chicken, sausages and a potato dumpling and the best gravy know to man, accompanied by a stein.)

The Next day we went to the castle that Walt Disney moulded the Disney Castle on.
We have been to a lot of castles on this trip, but they were usually more of a fortress than anything else. But this was different this was a Fairytale castle, it was spectacular, pearched high up on a mountainwith the alps in the background. (we took a horse and carriage down the mountian)

We were in a fairlytale the whole day, later that night we said goodbye to our friends. Early the next morning started our journey to Baden Baden in the black forest. Only took us 4 trains and a bus to get their, but thats for the next blog.

Goodbye, Fairwell, auf widersehen Goodnight.

over and out

Love al and kris
