This morning we got up early and got on the bus in München for a ride to Salzburg, Austria.
On our way there, we stopped at the salt mines! We had a fantastic time and the kids really enjoyed their time. We got to dress up as salt miners and go down deep into the mines (first with a sit-on train and later on a slide). We saw how the mines worked and see everything that goes with salt mining. It was nice and cool down there… We have some pretty fantastic pictures! Afterward we came back up to the heat and we sat at a restaurant and ordered lunch.
Then off on the bus into Salzburg, home of the Sound of Music, for a city tour. Salzburg, home of Mozart, is a beautiful city. Our guide told us today that 70% of the city is based in tourism.
After our city tour, we had a bit of time for shopping and then we were off to the youth hostel. We had another delicious supper and then a few went off to the laundromat and other stayed around to relax, shower (from the heat) and others were planning on watching “The Sound of Music” which shows every night at 8:00. Others are being sure to watch the big soccer game tonight.
The European Cup is happening right now and they are in the semi-final rounds… and Germany is still in the game! Tonight’s game is Germany versus Turkey. We’re hoping for Germany!
