Goodbye Croatia..onto Salzburg, Austria

THE HILLS ARE ALIVE.....with the sound of music! Into Salzburg for the night, lucky to get the last room in the city at 11pm in a 4 star hotel! The world cycling championships were old...well no one told us! Anyways, we only had half a day to look around the next day and I could go there without doing the sound of music tour. So that morning I got up early to jump on the first tour whilst the others slept in and spent the morning looking for Pharmacies as the boys had cut there feet and hands up in Croatia (don't ask). They didn't find an open pharmacy throughout the whole city but I got some cool pics..you might even recognise a few of these places...
From the main street looking up to the castle
Bridge in distance is when Maria runs across the bridge singing Doe a Dear


Headed up into the moutains for a quick toboggin ride
One of the lakes inbetween the moutains..amazing view
The Chapel where Maria married Mr Vontrap in the movie


The building used for the back of the Vontrap mansion..i.e. falling out of boat scene, lemonade drinking scene etc. The building now belongs to Harvard University

The abbey up on the hill
They had to lock the door as people kept trying to immitate the I am 16 going on 17 scene and falling through the glass walls.
The hills the seperate Austria and Germany...also used in the film
'..I am confident in me...'


After my Sound of music tour, the crew picked me up in town and we powered on to Germany for our last night night. After a few drinks and dinner it was bedtime and an early flight out to London Sunday morning. (24 Sept)
