Austria... Spring Break Trip

I'm back from Spring break and ready to bring on the beautiful weather. I spent the past 10 days traveling around Austria. We had wonderful sunny days with warm temps. Some of the top things we saw were Bertchesgaden, viewing the snowy Alps while enjoying the warmth down below, Salzburg and their salt mines, several small mountain communities, all of the filming sights to The Sound of Music!!!!!, Mauthausen Concentration Camp, and the last three days were spent exploring Vienna. There was so much to see in the town and we did as much as we could. The only thing that could have made the trip better was having Jay with me. Unfortunately, someone has to work in our family so we can pay bills. He spent the first four days with us, but then had to come back to Germany and spend the rest of the week working. We spent Easter apart, me in Austria and Jay in Luxenburg. Rough life, I know!!! Jay had a four day weekend for Easter, so he hit up three countries in that amount of time. He and a friend saw a lot of WW2 sites.

Overall, a great trip. I can now check Austria off my list!! On to the next country!!

The gazebo from Sound of Music

A church set out in the footsteps of the mountain. We took a boat to go see it.

At the Salzburg Salt Mines, ready to go on our tour. We had to put these outfits on so we didn't get dirty.

At the most photographed church in the world. We are actually standing in the cemetary with the church behind us.

Castle built by Ludwig 2. He lived in it for 10 days and it's never been lived in again.

The Schloss Palace in Vienna

A view of Salzburg from on top of their fortress.

This is a small mountain town with a castle ruin on top of the hill. We hiked up to check it out.

This is just a taste of what an Easter Market looks like. Every egg is real and hand painted.


This is the house used to in the Sound of Music and the pond where they fell out of the boat.
