Munich-Full Throttle

Sunset from high above - Salzburg

It was a beautiful afternoon and we managed, thanks to Carlo's intuition about the location of the cable car ticket office, to see the sunset from the castle high above the city. :-)

Carlo and I left Munich around 4:30PM and reached Salzburg close to 6:00PM. Since the historic center of the city is so small and contained we were able to walk and explore the sights pretty easily...

It seemed like something out of a picture book.

Funny thing was that the first house we took pictures in front of turned out to be Mozart's birthplace. Carlo told me, "stand in front of that house and I'll take your picture"...not until later we discovered the insignia on the wall.

The nicest part was our visit to the Mirabellengardens, where hundreds of tulips were in full bloom.

Chiemsee and Salzburg on the fly!

This past Saturday, Carlo and I wanted to take advantage of the nice weather and decided very spontaneously to drive to 133km near city of Salzburg, Austria.

We allowed for a quick stop at the Chiemsee to marvel at the Kite Surfers and daring wind surfers there.
