Salzburg - A long drive but worth it, again. We arrived around noon. Our guide stuck with us all day. We pulled off the main highway and drove through the Salzkammergut landscape with its mountains and lakes to a Lake Fuschl and Lake Wolfgang. We arrived at Salzburg then went to the old city for a few hours. We visited the old Bishop's Seat including the Cathedral, the Festival Hall, St Peter's Abbey Church and its graveyard. Then the guide gave us 2 hours to explore on our own. Troy and I caught the tram up the hill to the Fortress Hohensalzburg, one of the largest medieval castles in Europe. Took many pictures of Salzburg, we wondered around to the backside of the castle to a beautiful view of the Alps. We came across an outdoor café. We stopped for a few brewskies. After a long break it was time to head back down to the rendezvous point. We walked along the water and crossed over a pedestrian bridge then to the bus. Headed back to the hotel.
