G&B: from Salzburg to the Danube
On Thursday we drove to Salzburg. It was quite a relief to be back on Austrian roads, driving in Italy is quite stressfull!
Of course, it was raining in Salzburg...
hmmmm.... some form of art in one of the center squares:
We had dinner at the Augustiner Brewery that night and explored a bit of Salzburg the next day.
We decided to continue the road trip to show Greg & Bryte Vienna. We drove along the Danube river on the way and stopped at the Monastery in Melk which David and I had seen back in September during our Fulbright orientation.
Here is the library in the Monastery. The German word for monastery is "Stift." It is also the German word for pen. At first this seems odd, but it makes sense since the monks were the ones originally in charge of writing books and documents.
We crossed to the other side of the river on the ferry at Spitz...
... and continued on to the village of Durnstein. We climbed up the hill to the fortress ruins.
After a wet hike we warmed up with some dinner in a small restaurant in the village before continuing on to Vienna.
