Salzburg

we arrived in Salzburg, Austria on a rainy afternoon... P therefore decided that he didn't like this place ;p

However, he did like the hot dog with added cucumbers snitched from the morning's free breakfast at Fussen we shared under the somewhat inadequate umbrella shelter :) There's nothing quite like biting into a hot and sweet sausage on a cold, rainy day... it's even worth the rain for the experience...

we visited Mirabell Gardens before crossing the river to the altstadt and spent the day wandering around Salzburg's old town, visiting the many kirches and platzs and attempting to get lost amidst the maze of alleys and passages..

of all the many churches we saw this day, my favourite is the baroque kollegienkirche, with the white cloud and cupid carvings. the gothic franziskanerkiche comes a close second simply because of how different it stands out with its vast and un-adorned vaulted ceiling and regal air.

I love getreidegasse with its intricate wrought iron signs... a medieval shopping area! and all the passageways and courtyards and portals... it's one of the most charming street we saw...
for once, when P lit up at a MacDonald's sign, it was understandable :P
