Honeymoon Day 6 ~ Innsbruck - Salzburg (29 Jan 09)

Day 6 ~ Salzburg
Salzburg is the fourth-largest city in Austria and the capital of the federal state of Salzburg. It is the birthplace of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and the setting for parts of the musical and film The Sound of Music, which features famous landmarks in Austria, but focuses mainly on Salzburg.

Leaving from Innsbruck to Salzburg.....

Mirabell Garden & Park at Mirabell Palace
This place was supposed to be very green in the spring or summer, but winter... all white. Therefore, if you would like to visit Austria, I guess the best time is during spring/summer! It will be fantastic! Have you ever wondered where Sound of Music was filmed?? It was at Salzburg.



















Festung Hohensalzburg castle (literally "High Salzburg Fortress" in German) , sits on Festungsberg hill with a length of 250 meters and a width of 150 meters, it is one of the largest medieval castles in Europe.



St Peter's Cemetery - It serves as the final resting place for many notable personalities, artists, scholars and merchants. Thank God it was winter, otherwise... this might be scary tho....

Getreidegasse
The Getreidegasse is one of the most charming shopping districts in all of Europe. High narrow houses tucked together with elaborate wrought iron and guilded signs are picturesque, and as they appeared in the 17th and 18th centuries. Narrow passageways and colorful courtyards with arcades and flower baskets add to the ambiance and we find many elegant shops selling jewelry, leather goods, perfumes, food, and fashions along the district.

The house of Mozart is also located here, at Getreidegasse.

The dead body of Mozart. We didn't capture much pics of Mozart's house and so on because it is prohibited to take pics, but, we managed to capture this before the guide said NO PICS. Haha...

We had our lunch here, and the food were really really good! Must try ..... how I wish they open this branch in Msia too.



Look at this...awww.

Grilled salmon and prawn.. my favorite.

Prawn in chilli paste..... the seafood here were so fresh and you will want more and more, but control.....

He looked happy with food.. hahaha.

After lunch, free and leisure till evening... which means, time for shopping!! hehe.






Mc Donalds ice cream with brownies, only available in Austria... yummy.



The place we had our dinner.....

Our hotel for the night at Salzburg.....

Gosh, when I blogged this, oh.... I miss the trip sooo much!
