We didn't have any real plan or agenda or even hotel reservations. It was just Scott and me in my truck with a GPS and enough clothes for three or four days. We decided our first destination would be Salzburg. It was a five-hour drive from home, and we made it there by mid-afternoon.
After finding a hostel, we grabbed some food, and then trekked around the old town. I was really interested to see the birthplace and childhood home of Mozart, so that was our first priority.
After that, we decided to just walk around the city and see what we could find. It's strange how we weren't that far away from Italy, but the architecture was so different.
But like Italy, it was full of narrow streets and cool shops.
After taking in the city, we walked up to Fortress Hohensalzburg, a medieval castle that dates all the way back to 1077.
The castle was fascinating, and it also provided breathtaking views of the city...
...and the countryside. We walked until way after dark, and then decided to head back to the hostel for coffee and sleep.
