Salzburg seemed like a nice little town, unfortunately weather did not cooperate while we were there.  In our short 19 hour stay it managed to rain about 18 hours.  Oh well, we still walked around a bit of town and saw some of the sights, including the home where Mozart lived until he was 24 years old.

The big attraction in Salzburg is to take a Sound Of Music Tour which takes you to a number of the sights it was filmed at.  Since weather was not on our side,  the tour was around 40 dollars, and neither of us have seen the movie we decided against it.  Our hostel shows the movie every night at 8pm so we tried to watch it, unfortunately we only lasted 25 minutes due to the group of unruly sorority girls sitting behind us.

Oh well
