Yesterday we docked in Passau and boarded coaches for the drive to Salzburg.
Whilst sailing to Passau we passed Van Hallen a building built by a king showing off based on the Colosseum.
The village of Passau.
The village of Oberndorf where we stood in Germany and looked across the river to Austria.
The wonderful town of Salzburg which is my favourite place in Europe this far.
Mirabell Palace and Gardens where the sound of music had the fountain scene and staircase scene with Julie Anthony.
The Hohensalzburg Fortress built in 1859.
The four statues representing earth, fire, air and water.
This is the house where Mozart grew up.
This is the hotel that Julie Anthony stayed in whilst making the movie.
Each shop has a wonderful ornate sign out the front with items to let you know what is sold inside and of course McDonalds bought an old property which use to be an inn and they were allowed to put the M in the wreath only.
This is Mozarts Geburtshaus – Birth Place
Residenz Platz – Cathedral, Palace and Residenz Fountain which was in a scene in the sound of music.
Mozart

Imagine these eggs at Easter time look at the lace work amazing.
Our friend Andrea after she finished her beer.
Kapetal Horse Pond.
All through the Europe the flower markets and shops are so amazing, and the arrangements are cheap in comparison to Australia.
The Carillon built in 1883.
Another metal shop sign.
Our wonderful guide through Salzburg was Eva in her traditional Dirndl dress.
A maypole in a village on the way back to the boat, over the fence of the motorway.
