A special day in Salzburg

After spending a terrible night at our hotel that was very old, yet not charming at all and offered a bed which had a washboard quality to it. My wife slept on the couch and I had to sleep across the bad mattress to lessen its longitudinal bumpy profile.

We convinced the staff to give us a better room, which they did the next night. We explored the town, walked all over and in spite of all the strain and fatigue from the day before, managed to enjoy our experience.

Rupert is a patron saint of the province of Salzburg and when we decided to spend the day in that charming city, it fell smack in the midst of St. Rupert’s annual celebration.
This was a wonderful thing. Not only is the city of Salzburg naturally filled up with its authentic Austrian charm, but it felt just right when all the locals were drinking beer, chanting and yodeling on the genuine local tunes.

Boy, these Austrians seem to know how to have a wonderful time!
