Up early on a Sunday morning, finished packing, had breakfast, and departed the hotel in the Vienna area heading for Munich, (It's very difficult useing a German-based keyboard...) with a stopover in Salzburg. Took about 3.5 hours including one rest stop break. Got to Salzburg and started touring with the Mirabel gardens, then crossing the Salzach River into the old city area.  Saw Mozart's birthhouse then on to the area of the Dom (cathedral) and the University. Stopped for lunch in a nice restaurant that was not closed (after all, it's Sunday and most businesses, including restaurants in tourist areas, do close.)  We had a spargl (white and green asparagus, in season now) risotto.  Quite good.  Then on to see the Dom, but there was a church service happening so entry was restricted.


Departed Salzburg to Munich.Traffic was very bad since most long weekend vacationers were reurning home. So a two hour trip took about 3.5 hours.  The restaurant did keep dinner for us - chicken with a great spaetzl (small potato dumplings) and a good salad.


Then off to the hotel Ibis, the same chain we used in London 4 years ago.  A long, very warm day so I think everyone headed to their rooms to sack out. Lots of locals in their tradtitional Bavarian attire for men - lederhosen - leather shorts with suspenders.  Must be the holiday of there's a convention in town.


Munich tomorrow starting at 8am....
