Salzburg- Beer, Pork, Beer, Engagement
For the first part of the trip please click on Oktoberfest
Because of the hangover, I took my time of getting to my train from the campsite and also barely made it as it left about three minutes after I got on. It was about an hour and a half train to Salzburg but what I had forgotten is they closed off any trains going from the German to Austrian border in which they made me disembark at Friessling Station which was on the German Austrian Border!!!! Why? The Syrian Immigrant crisis is causing a lot of problems. If you would of seen what I saw on the border, it was hundreds and maybe even thousands of Syrian immigrants huddled together and sleeping in a shanty town. Probably one of the saddest things I have ever seen!!!!
If I can pretty much sum up Salzburg, it would be to continue the drinking from Oktoberfest, see a lot of the sights, as well as try every food imaginable. I had seen parts of the city that I had never seen before in my previous four visits there and I became more impressed with the city than I already was!!!!!!
Just walking around, you get a sense of how peaceful and relaxing everything is!!!! From the beautiful sights at the castle overlooking the city to the Augustiner Brewerey/Beer Garden/Food House.
This time was great!!!!! And I even got a replacement for my camera…
Oh yea I forgot to mention two of my good friends got engaged there at the Rose Garden. Laina attended a semester abroad there and Steve wanted to propose to her there……HMMMM I knew there was a reason for going to Salzburg!!!!! Great place and I will return to both places again…CONGRATS STEVE AND LAINA!!!!
