It didn't take us long to realise there is something different about Salzburg!
It is a small town with a population of only 150,000. Munich was small but they did have locals. As we walked about the streets in Salzburg, everyone seemed to be a tourist. It was like being in a theme park. The other time I have thought this was in Venice.
Later a bus driver explained - local people live in the new city, the old town is a museum.
Certainly it is gorgeous, with mountains in autumn colours around it. But there were tour groups everywhere. And this is the off-season.
They must be glad that the Sound of Music was filmed here. And that Mozart was born here. The gifts that keep on giving!
We had our second attempt at German cuisine last night. Suffice to say I won't be buying the cookbook. KM's pork skewer was good, mine was like a breakfast bubble and squeak of various pork cuts and potatoes. I guess, if your culinary claim to fame is sausages.....
Funny thing - Germany is neat, clean, efficient with lousy food. India is the exact opposite.
